7 years ago A very big thank you for these ideas (also , thank you on the behalf of the support-players for caring for us ^_^ )
Now about the items:
Having an item giving bonus night/day vision is awesome , but I think it shouldn't stick to something so easily created (in other words , I don't think it should be for the "Eye of Seer" . It can definitely stay on the upgraded versions (or could be a separate item)). The auras seem fit on some items, but ,at the same time, I have a feeling they don't ( well , as you said , this needs discussion and testing :/ )
The active abilities are also neat , but , as you stated , should have a big CD (but, again - depends on the balance issues)
Vision of Death should not have a big radius (I think it should be just a tiny bit bigger than the normal dust AoE , if not the same (some might think it should be smaller)). The health "border" , imo, is gonna be ~15% (when hero's_hp < 15%, but that's just me)
Flying vision shouldn't be a thing , in my opinion (I'll note this down too , to bring it up on the meeting) since it could work out badly (people stealing stuff , messing with bossfights , etc. .

Additional informations:
General idea that took me to creating this items was that in every gamemod carry always get some fancy stuff but supports almost never get new items. So i created this items to help supports doing they role and also get help from heroes that are less value in late game, like Zeus for example. The "Eye of Seer" is mented to be early game item, like Bracers, but being more maded for getting support role more options, "Vision" ability gives opportunity to make more successful ganks or making safer aggressive warding. This is for obvious reasons more power to supports earlier parts of game. Staff of Visions is item specify to suports with main strength are spells, big benefit can be additional time and range for incantations like pugna's ultimate or shadow shaman shackles (from obvious reasons sand king should be excluded from gaining that additional seconds). This item is also good for nuker heroes what makes more opportunities to teams without pure support also have some sort of supporting item. Peeking crown is item for more tankiers supports like omniknight or undying, but also can be sometimes being build on others heroes like lycan or dragon knight with good benefits. Also i wanted to this two items to be different than just copy paste so i icluded different benefits from each other, but still keeping them connected to make recipes more believable so item that require an ward in recipe and other one also having ward in recipe to not being one that grant vision and other one summoning 7 hells to burn enemy. Abilities are maked way that both upgrades benefits different styles of supporting, staff is for supports that like to be away from center of fight and don't like being first line(like shadow shaman or pugna), staff would be very bad for support that like to be in center and be front liner (omni or undying are best examples) who can lead to battle, and for them instead of item that grant vision on things that are further better option is to them have flying vision(to balance purposes on cost of increased vision, for those who don't know what is ground type vision and what is fly type vision best example is balanar with axhs, with it he gaint flying vision in night)
Be sure that that items will be need to be balanced through time, it is not possible to tell how strong they exactly would be in proper match. There is just no other items to compare with but i forced myself to narrow the op <-> too weak ratio.
Feel free to make changes that would make them closer to your vision if you don't like something in them and still want to have something like that in game.
Ps. I not bothered to make some sort of lore to items excluding names (to be proper for item mechanic). So you can do whatever you want with lore of them.
Pss. Baumi will was displeased seeing large rable of numbers and sait to feel free reposting it without them. So here is it.
