Origins of the Three Eye drug. (Changes spoiler)
Sh33p:
I like to think the Sells version of the curse was inspired by the White Court. Papa Raith just switched over to the Red Court version for the satisfaction of shanking Thomas to death.

if it gave him the sight, maybe he gained an understanding of what he saw as well?

the porn-cerouses were using a ritual entropy curse, not the same as VS or the RC.
when PR was going to kill Thomas, they were calling up HWWB to kill Harry(IMO), Thomas would have been the sacrifice and vessel for him.

It was like the Red Court curse so why not just blame the red court?
Or their known associates. The wizzards who called outsiders?
In Blood Rites pappa Raith employed a totally different technique. One that he could have learned Sells as well.
But at that point in time the red court was far more aggressive as the white (because of Maggies curse).

^ I like this theory.
We know that the Black Council is very much against White Council. The 3-Eye drug might have been an initial attempt to spread the resources of the council thin. Think about it - Luccio already confirmed that with the huge population explosion, Wardens are stretched thinner than ever and it's very difficult to effectively find and educate new wizards before they turn warlock.
We also know that everyone in DF has some potential for magic. Most people don't have enough oomph to become full-blown wizards but everyone can learn some magic.
So, there's probably plenty of people who would be capable of some black magic shenanigans, but who would otherwise never even think of trying anything magical - the Masquerade is in place. However, if they take a drug like 3-Eye, they might just start thinking 'What if magic is real?'.
Suddenly, you have entire leagues of minor talents dabbling in magic(some of whom will inevitably try Black Magic), spreading the Council's resources even thinner and creating a lot of potential recruits for the Black Council.
My guess is that Sells didn't manufacture 3-Eye for profit or personal reasons. He did it in return for knowledge of magic. Ie. his deal with whatever entity that granted him power or knowledge was that he would manufacture and distribute 3-Eye.

I like this as well. Keep in mind, it is people like the formor who are taking the mini-talents right now, and they are experts at modifying creatures. So take someone with a little talent. Modify them up to be like a mini-denarian in shapeshifted form (to make them tougher) and then amp them up on some kind of magic increasing juice and you get some serious warmachines that can think (depending on how mind-bent they are by the formor as well). Or even worse, mind-lock them, alter them in virtually invisible ways, amp them up and addict them, and return them to society as internal sabatours.
