Inquisitor Eye Spikes
itemInquisitor Eye Spikes appears in Mistborn.
The Inquisitor Eye Spikes, a pair of large steel spikes hammered point-first through the eye sockets of Steel Inquisitors, emerge as a defining Hemalurgic feature in the Mistborn Era 1 trilogy, granting supernatural vision and enabling Ruin's direct control over these immortal enforcers. First detailed in The Hero of Ages, these spikes pierce deeply into crushed sockets, allowing Inquisitors to perceive Allomantic metal lines and discern colors, while additional spikes throughout their bodies steal and enhance Allomantic and Feruchemical powers. Their presence underscores the Inquisitors' evolution from mere hunters to Ruin's puppets, culminating in pivotal confrontations that reveal the depth of Hemalurgic manipulation.
