Beholder mages were so innately gifted with magic that they could simultaneously cast spells with each eyestalk that had been dedicated to their arcane studies. Doing this not only granted it access to more powerful spells, but also negated the need for material components. To learn spells of a new level, a beholder mage had to convert an eyestalk to a spellstalk by permanently sacrificing the innate power of that eyestalk to dedicate to the new level. īeholder mages advanced their spellcasting by converting their eyestalks to "spellstalks". A beholder mage was able to sing songs of such complexity that they could juggle the verbal components of several spells simultaneously.

Abilities Ī beholder mage used its dead central eye as a spellcasting focus, and was able to cast spells by wiggling and writhing its eyestalks and singing a spellcasting song. Most beholder mages were a bit smaller than the average beholder. While some made some effort to hide this deformity, others proudly displayed their eye, or the wound or disease which had rendered it useless. The distinguishing feature of a beholder mage was its blind, destroyed, or missing central eye.
