Inquisitor Eye Spikes
itemInquisitor Eye Spikes appears in Mistborn.
Inquisitor Eye Spikes first appear as a mysterious, unnamed detail in The Well of Ascension before their full Hemalurgic nature is revealed in The Hero of Ages. These steel spikes, driven through the eye sockets of Steel Inquisitors, grant the wearer enhanced Allomantic sight and serve as conduits for Ruin’s influence. Their design evolves from simple ocular implants to complex arrays of multiple spikes that steal and redistribute powers, culminating in their role as both instruments of control and keys to Ruin’s eventual release.
