Isaac is sometimes able to perceive undead beings such as ghosts and spirits. When doing so, he covers his eyes with his hands for a moment, gripping his face, and faint glowing eyes manifest on the back of his hands as he whispers to himself. These eyes are large and unearthly, looking in all directions yet none at all.
An inexperienced Isaac performed a ritual early into his study, one of his firsts. Looking back, it was stupid of him to attempt a ritual like this, it could have easily killed him, and condemned his soul for eternity. This ritual involved rubbing the ashes from cremated eyeballs on his own, under a supermoon. These eyes came from a lesser god known as Macula the Fearful, a lesser god that was killed by another, Issac was merely the vulture feasting on his corpse.
