I don't think the eye is bad but I prefer how it is in the books, the mystery makes him more intimidating to me
A half ethereal necromancer with boundless sight who can possess an entire tower wasn't intimidating enough for you?
I feel like showing it as a visual in the eyes of the spies or random urikai witnessing important events would have conveyed the idea better instead of confusing the audience into thinking it's just a tower that can see really far. I didn't get that it was symbolic when I watched it.
You are correct. That would have been cool.
My head canon was always that the eye was just a spell or a possession ability he had while he was working to come back (which required the ring).
