Evil Eye

The Evil Eye (亜眼 Agan) is a congenital ability linked to its possessors' souls. Those who possess the Evil Eye are able to see ghosts, the spirits of those who have passed on.

The ability itself does not discriminate between spirits, rendering visible everything from evil spirits to those of birds or insects. It is implied that one can filter out such latter spirits if one is careful, but it is unknown whether the same can done for spirits on a more complex scale. Meanwhile, although the ability cannot detect living beings, it can technically be used to indirectly locate those who are followed by spirits. The Evil Eye's abilities can be augmented with magic.

While Earth has its own concepts of an Evil Eye, the concept described here is known in the Other World. In the Other World, the majority of Evil Eye holders seek refuge in the Geldwood Church for the remainder of their lives; the rest typically become necromancers. Possessors will retain the Evil Eye should they find themselves on Earth, as exemplified when the Corpse God reincarnates in Japan and discovers he is still able to see spirits. The Corpse God considers this evidence that the Evil Eye is truly linked to one's soul, rather than one's eye or brain.
