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.
