The Eye of Alpheridies is the name bestowed upon a pendant created by Isley Verd. Aesthetically speaking, the Eye is a breathtaking display of silver and amethyst that are intricately woven into an abstract shape. The pendant itself hangs from a length of thin, silver chain; and as a whole the Eye compliments any attire beautifully. The aesthetic allows the purpose of the piece to be fulfilled without potential threats to the wearer being aware; for the Eye of Alpheridies was created as a means of "covert", personal defense.
The alchemical process by which the Eye was created revolved around the piece's largest amethyst. This gem was treated alchemically to result in a singular, defensive trait. When the wearer of the Eye is exposed to Force-based electricity, the gem reacts. Much akin to a lightning rod, it will draw in these energies and subsequently absorb them into its form. From this point, the energies are stored until such time as the user sees fit to release them. This release can be achieved through the hands or other parts of the wearer's body; for the captured energies are then harmlessly flowed to their points of exit.
The release of the absorbed energies has the potential to deal grievous, electrical damage to a target. However, the degree of this damage is entirely dependent upon the "Force rank" of the Eye's wielder. While all ranks of Force-based electricity can be attracted and absorbed (for such is the nature of alchemized products), the strength of the resulting release relies solely on the abilities of the wielder. Therefore, in the hands of an apprentice, only minor damage can be dealt; whereas untold heaps of damage can be wrought when worn by a master.
On another note, the Eye of Alpheridies lacks the durability present within other products created through Sith Alchemy. While this does open the possibility of the item's destruction by lightsaber or blaster, it also ensures "neutrality" on the part of the jewel. The addition of other, staple effects would result in a noticeable, Dark Side taint; whereas excluding these effects allows the item to be worn without any potential threat being the wiser.
