![]() Instead, I think the person controlling them is a deeper part of Gus: the part of him that holds all of his insecurities. I don’t think it would be right to say his illusions have sentience, though. They also do something similar to Grom, drawing on his most painful memories to hurt him. We often see them disobey him, and when his eyes glow, he doesn’t have any control of them at all. If we specifically look at Gus though, it almost seems like his illusions have a mind of their own. They lose control of their magic, and we don’t know why. You could also say the same is happening with the coven seal: either Belos or the Collector is taking control of someone’s body through the seal, making it so they can’t use their magic. For Eda, Philip, and Hooty, it’s because someone else is taking over their mind and making them do something. ![]() When the palismen take control of Philip’s mind, his eyes glow, as we’ve seen in one of the paintings in Hollow mind.Īll of these examples have someone lose control of either their body or their magic. (It’s debatable whether that counts as a glow, but it does fit with the rest.) The coven seals, when activated, seal away someone’s magic, and their eyes light up. As the owl beast takes control of Eda, her eyes fill with black. Willow and Gus’ eyes glow when they lose control of their magic. When Gus, Willow, and Luz animate Hooty for the midnight conjuring, his eyes glow. When magic creates a connection to someone’s mind to transfer information, someone’s eyes glow. And for Amity and Graye, it’s an outside force examining their minds-or their memories–for weak points. For Barcus and the coven heads, it’s one-way knowledge of the future coming in. For King and the Bat queen, it’s presumably goes two ways: a mental link that lets both parties communicate. When the titan trappers complete their ritual and make a connection between King and the collector, King’s eyes light up.Īll of these have some sort of exchange of information happening magically. This happens again when Gus’ magic manipulates the coven head’s memories. When Grom reads a person’s fears, their eyes light up. ![]() When the coven heads are shown a vision of the day of unity, eye glow. When Barcus is reading someone’s fortune, his eyes glow purple. When the Bat Queen communicates with other palismen, their eyes light up. It’s a bit long though, hence the summary up here.įirst of all is communication. Under the cut, I go through each of the examples and explain my thought process. In the third category, the mental link does the job of glyphs or magic circles telling the magic what to do. In the second category, the mental link is how the control happens, letting someone other than the body’s owner take over. Glowing eyes means there is a mental link being formed using magic.įor the first category, the mental link was used to communicate, or it was used to transfer information, like seeing the future.
