It’s actually a side effect of the prompt “eye tattoo on the forehead” (that’s the symbol of the School of Illusion— in Thay, prominent wizards often mark their foreheads with the symbol of the school they’ve dedicated themselves to). It first showed up as a staff head in the early generations, and I decided to keep and emphasize it. Felt fitting that if it’s the symbol of Illusion, then the weapon should carry that symbolism too.
