The SendingStone review

The spell Arcane Eye is a useful tool for wizards, allowing them to create an invisible sensor that can be moved around. While it has limitations, such as a limited range and the need for concentration, it can still provide valuable information for a party. With its ability to see through solid objects and fly around obstacles, it can be invaluable for scouting out unfamiliar territory or keeping watch over an area. However, as it can be detected and destroyed by certain spells, it is important for the wizard to use it judiciously. Overall, Arcane Eye is a powerful spell that requires careful use, but can provide valuable insights for any party.


Arcane Eye is D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) 5th edition content, but other TTRPGs may have their own version such as a Arcane Eye Pathfinder edition. Want to use Arcane Eye in a VTT (virtual tabletop)? Try out SendingStone for free today!
