THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Prism Industries Capacitating and Focusing Goggles

also known as The Princess Donut

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 15

A one-of-a-kind, large, round pair of arm-less sunglasses, custom-made and personally signed by Princess D'Nadia of the Prism Kingdom as a gift for Donut, delivered inside her first Benefactor Box. Magically stays fixed to Donut's face despite having no arms and nothing to grip her squashed nose. Beyond the environmental and dark-vision protection any pair of goggles might offer, it catches and focuses any energy-based spell that starts from the eyes, letting Donut split and aim a spell like Magic Missile in multiple directions at once and bank unused charge from one shot into the next.
