If it wishes, it can prepare an action (I assume they mean ready an action) to use this eye to perform a counterspell, but if it does so, it must successfully hit the spellcaster in question5. hold monster - as spell, will negates6. major creation - creates misc. gear and equip. for itself or minions (as spell) as it deems necessary.  This has no offensive function  This eye ray requires a full round action.7. polar ray - the target takes 14d6 cold (oh, I can see using this with maximize, vs. a Fire dragon, you do the math)8. reactive spell immunity - 1/round this eye can be used to negate a single spell that affects the overseer as the spell is being cast. The overseer must successfully hit the creature that cast the spell in question; if successful, it is immune to that casting of that particular spell.9. reactive spell turning - 1/round reflect a single-target spell that targets the overseer back to its source as an eye ray, which must hit otherwise the spell dissipates harmlessly.10. stunning - the target must succeed on a Fort save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds11. suggestion - as spell, will negates12. telekinesis - can move objects or creatures that weigh up to 350 pounds, as though with a telekinesis spell, will negatesand last, but certainly not least. . .13. temporal stasis - as spell, fort negates[/sblock] Enjoy!  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
