The only use to the Imperium of the Navigator's pineal eye is its aid in Warp navigation, however it also possesses qualities that are rarely exploited in practice, able to summon powers that although powerful rarely outweigh the risk of losing a Navigator by forcing them into perilous situations that would require them. On its own the eye does nothing, Navigator's extra optical apparatus, and still some find it unsettling to look at,{{Fn|2f}} especially psykers, who can see its Warp gate even when it's closed.{{Fn|15}} However when the Navigator chooses to open the inner gate, or even accidentally glimpses at someone when having it inadvertently opened, it unleashes the power of the Warp in its cone of vision. Young Navigators, the least experienced in handling their bizarre anatomy, can only unleash the full potential of the Warp - '''Lidless Stare''' - while reported that some can survive its blast for a split second, unprepared or found wanting perish all, their mind driven mad and evaporated in an unmeasurably minuscule time.{{Fn|2h}} It is however an instant death, which when provided with worse alternatives is able to be perceived as merciful.{{Fn|40}} Other times, it can be an excruciating death where one drowns on imperceivable tides, suffocating on the imperciable unknown and their own blood.{{Fn|1b}} One of the few survivors described it as if the sea of warp, distant, yet all-encompassing bubbled to the surface of the materium to swallow him with its paradoxical nature, dismayed as to how the barrier between the worlds in that very moment was as thin as the lens of an eye.{{Fn|40}} It is the main reason why enmity of a Navigator or in the worst scenario,{{Fn|41b}} a possession of one by a daemon is an extremely hazardous ordeal.{{Fn|41a}} For there is nothing stopping that creature from unleashing this highest of the horrors upon one's soul, fracturing its fleshy vessel in an instant.{{Fn|41b}}
Stories of how Navigators can kill with their third eye circulate both within and without the Navis Nobilite Houses. These stories also tell of how killing with their eye attracts [[Daemon]]s. It is a beacon flash in the warp, attracting both daemons and many lesser warp-things, such as the warp echoes and the spirits of the recent dead.{{Fn|1b}}
