Luci's sight was her first gift she received even from before the Contracts. A wandering entity- an Eidolon of the Well- saw something that they wanted from Luci when she was young. But due to some sort of disaster, the process failed and Luci stayed in control while the Eidolon became a prisoner within her.
Over the course of her contracting career, Luci has been able to tap into more of her abilities, but this was the first. Blessed eyes manifested alongside a tattoo that carried over from the Eidolon. With it, the world can seemingly bend to her will. It can slow down when she wants and it can illuminate the world in its barest forms if she so wills.

While this gift presents no outward appearance, the user's own perception of the world changes. The night sky looks different to the user after they have received this gift. The stars and nebulas look brighter, clearer, more defined. It's almost as though the user is able to see the night sky in its complete form, unobscured by the existence of light pollution. In fact, if the user focuses hard enough, they may be able to make out a few stars even in the day time. It truly is a sight to behold.
Andromeda gained this gift after looking through her newly repaired telescope (courtesy of The Friend). Bearing witness to the true appearance of the Andromeda Galaxy through her observatory's telescope left the child speechless, and opened her eyes to what the stars truly are.
