{"name":"Dreaded Form of the Eye Tyrant","level":"8-level","school":"Transmutation","classes":"Wizard","castingtime":"1 action","range":"Self","duration":"Concentration, up to 1 minute","components":"V, S, M","materials":"the tears of a beholder, drunk as part of the casting","description":"When you cast this spell, your body withers away to\r\ndust, leaving only a floating head, which quickly grows\r\noversized and misshapen. Your eyes fuse together as a\r\nsingle orb in your forehead, and ten writhing eyestalks\r\nsprout from your skull.\r\nYou take the form of a beholder (MM, p26) and gain 30\r\ntemporary hit points, which disappear at the end of the\r\nduration. While you gain the eye-ray powers of a beholder,\r\nyou can use only one eye ray each round, and each of your\r\nten eye rays can be used only once during the duration.\r\nFor example, once you use your disintegrate eye ray, you\r\ncan\u2019t use that eye ray again during the duration.\r\nThe transformation lasts for the duration, or until\r\nyou drop to 0 hit points or die. When you revert to your\r\nnormal form, you return to the number of hit points you\r\nhad before you transformed. If you revert as a result\r\nof dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries\r\nover to your normal form. As long as the excess damage\r\ndoesn\u2019t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren\u2019t\r\nknocked unconscious. Your gear melds into the new form.\r\nYou can\u2019t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from\r\nany of your equipment.","higherlevels":"","source":"Mordenkainen's Lost Notebook","tabledata":"","tags":"Spell, Wizard, 8th-level","templateId":"19","blockId":"223864","isShared":"1"}
