Limitations
- The sight impaired are highly resistant and those without sight (blindness) are immune.
- May not work if target's eyes (or whatever they see with) are closed.
- In some cases, if user's killing eyes are reflected back them (such as a mirror), it can kill the user, if not immune to the effects.
- If the eyes are seen through a reflection of some sort, then the gaze might only be anywhere from simply knocking the person out to Petrification.
- If one cannot control the power's use, visual contact must be avoided with most people, to avoid killing them involuntarily.
- Can't kill Immortal beings, or targets that aren't technically "alive" (e.g. Artificial Life-Forms, Spirits, or the Undead). Other side-effects, such as Petrification, may still occur.
- Can be reversed by Resurrection.
