How It Plays

Vision of the Tenth Eye is cast on the caster and lasts 30 seconds. While it runs, the caster's sight takes on a strange tinted look. Objects that are normally invisible appear, and the hidden Master Illusion texts glow so they can be found.

The spell needs both hands to cast. Each cast reveals the hidden books for half a minute, so a search around the College usually takes several casts. A book that has not been picked up fades from view again once the spell ends.

Quest Background

Drevis Neloren, the Illusion master at the College of Winterhold, teaches the spell during the Illusion Ritual Spell quest. He asks for four Master Illusion texts that lie hidden around the College. They can only be seen with the help of this spell.

One book sits on a table in the Arcanaeum, in the outer ring of the library. One lies on the upper landing of the Hall of Attainment. One rests on a barrel in a storeroom upstairs in the Hall of Countenance. The last lies on a table next to the Atronach Forge in the Midden.

Drevis takes the four books and gives Hysteria as the reward. He then sells the other Master Illusion spells: Call to Arms, Harmony and Mayhem.

Notes

The spell also gives night vision while it lasts, and that part keeps working after the quest is over.
