The [World's Eye Theatre] is an original room Skill created by Erin Solstice.
Skill Origin[edit | edit source]
The Skill was created by Erin Solstice, and is an upgrade of her [Grand Theatre] Skill.[1]
Layout[edit | edit source]
Together with the Wandering Inn's common room, the [World's Eye Theatre] is about two hundred feet long, a third smaller than the [Grand Theatre]. There are various ornate glass furniture, like padded chairs with an odd, bright green design and laced covering, a knitted tea cozy, a glass table with ruby feet shaped like an animal's, and so forth. The chairs and tables are grouped as if by monetary value rather than matching styles. One end of the room has a stage with glittering black curtains studded with stars.[2]
Past the curtains there is a hallway about forty feet long, illuminated by blue light from lanterns on the side and a red carpet on the floor. Twenty feet past the lanterns, square windows with strips of wood running between the panes line in the corridor.[2]
After the hallway is a dome that holds a proper theatre which the red carpet snakes around. It is furnished with beautiful soft folding chairs, which can recline, with no apparent stitching. They are placed in wide descending rows towards the central amphitheater, with ramps and stairs with guardrails. The glass domed ceiling reflects the sky above the inn. It is made up of glass hexagonal panes that have no sign of being normally processed. Above, they create a perfect circle, resembling a pupil and iris. A beam of light shines down from the pupil onto the center of the room. It does so regardless of the position of the sun, as the eye tracks it to create the optical effect.[2]
Skill Effects and Capabilities[edit | edit source]
The curtains are enchanted with [Silence]. The hallway and dome past the curtains seem to exist in another dimension, similarly to the Garden of Sanctuary. The location cannot be scryed,[3] but it can be accessed by the [Garden of Sanctuary].[4] The windows in the corridor are not glass, but are instead made of a frictionless and durable material, capable of blunting a knife. The windows display images from the inn's surroundings.[2] The windows are not indestructible, as Silvenia was able to slightly damage them from afar.[5]
The eye-dome of the theatre have scrying capabilities, 'blinking' as it does so. It can view real-world locations, while also tap into Wistram's scrying orb network. It can also synergize with Erin's [Perfect Recall] to play movies and theatrical plays seen by her. Though Erin initially couldn't play memories, she later demonstrated the capability, presumably after levelling a few times. The sound volume is adjustable,[2] while the sound effects are highly realistic, to the point that the scene feels like it's happening around the viewer.[6] An existing [Scrying] spell can be tied into it.[4] After Erin reached Level 50, the Skill was upgraded, enabling scrying around the target location for miles.[7]
By standing in the beam of light at the center, the Skill can project a hologram of anyone within to a distant location, and it allows them to see the world around that location and communicate, with no apparent range restriction. It can also scry the last accessible location of a target if contact is blocked.[7] The user can widen or shrink the beam of sunlight or moonlight from the ceiling, to a maximum width of ten feet. Multiple locations at once and add effects to the projection. The beam can also be moved in a limited radius, until the end of the stage. It can bypass anti-scrying measures to an extant, though those will make the image in the theatre fuzzy and deteriorate the sound quality, progressively until its unrecognizable as they near where those protections are strongest.[2]
When multiple locations are being projected simultaneously, the other parties can only hear each other.[3] A [Shared Vision] spell on the dome glass allows proper communication between those locations.[5]
When invoked by [Aspect of the Wandering Inn], the User gains a third eye on their forehead and their vision sharpens. The third eye is immune to being blinded by light.[8] Someone using the [Shared Vision] Skill on the theatre can allow others to play their memories too.[9]
