This steel helmet covers all of the wearer’s head but the face. A single huge eye with a crystal pupil is embossed on the helm’s forehead.

When a helm of wounding sight is activated, the embossed pupil sheds light with the brightness of a light spell until it is commanded to cease or the helm is removed.
In addition, three times per day, a helm of wounding sight can be activated to emit an instantaneous 60-foot-long cone of bright, burning light. This cone deals 2d6 points of fire damage and blinds all creatures in the area for 1 round. Creatures that succeed on DC 20 Reflex saves take half damage and are dazzled for 1 round.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, light, burning hands, possession of a piece of the set.
Cost to Create: 3,000 gp (plus 500 gp for base item), 240 XP, 6 days.
