The wizard who invented this spell was tired of sending his miners through a portal to the Paraelemental Plane of Mineral only to have them petrify into statues of mineral when searching for a specific vein of mineral. Taking it upon himself to find the mineral veins he sought, the wizard designed this spell. Once cast, mine eyes allows the wizard to detect and see a chosen mineral. Before the incantation begins, the wizard must hold a handful of the desired mineral in his fist to his forehead. Once cast, the wizards' eyes glaze over and appear as the sought after mineral. The wizards then sees a blurry, smeared version of the world. The only thing that is clearly visible is any of the sought after mineral. The wizard is effectively blinded and incurs a -3 to all activities, until the spell has ended or cancelled.
