When Used in Combat
You pull out the red eye and wave it slowly past the face of your opponent. "This is not the fight you are looking for," you say. The red eye glows brightly, making you squint, and then fades away. Your opponent waves a hand at you, muttering, "Move along, move along."
You get an effect: Red Eyes (Added for 30 minutes.)

- Trying to use against frusion enemies fails, and the item is not consumed. You get the following message:
You wave the red eye around, but the mind trick doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's a Toydarian.
