I started EQ in early 2001 and Wizard was my main. I know for a fact that the Eye of Zomm took the caster's faction and when the eye was killed the mob agroed the caster. I used the eye to pull for groups when I was bored. This was changed later IIR, sometime in Luclin era I believe, and the eye was made non-agro.
My opinion is the spell is from Dungeons and Dragons and is a clairvoyance type of spell meant to summon an incorporeal/invisible eye to be used for scouting. However, I don't think the devs are trying to make this server how we want it to be, but to recreate EQ how it was. To me I prefer the eye to be non-kos and to be used for scouting. This makes the most sense to me and is open to less abuse, but that is not how the spell was to begin with, nor at this timeline in EQ.
