Just an idea.
I guess this idea could be a sort of mini-Key to Time idea, and is just a vague idea right now. I actually had the idea while at work and having to use the master key to access a room.
The Master Key An ancient Time Lord device capable of opening any lock. The lock could be a bolted door, deadlock seal or memory lock from amnesia.
I've not put any thought into what form the Key takes, although maybe a large brass key. The physical key itself is actually a just a channel for the power form the Eye of Harmony (or some other such great power source).
Campaign idea As the key can be used to unlock anything the Time Lords decided to hide it so as it could never be used for wrongdoings. But some evil villain has discovered it's existence and even clues to it's whereabouts. The PCs must now also follow the clues and get the Key before it can be used for evil.
Red-herring: I was thinking that the minions looking for the key could be maybe Ogrons or somesuch. The PCs mabage to capture and interrorgate them and are told "We seek the Master's Key." This will obviously make the PCs think they are dealing with The Master, if they are is up to you.

I would have thought that you'd need computation power rather than energy - so wouldn't it be better to have it link to The Matrix rather than the Eye?

Does it open up Time Locks? Just a hypothetical question. No real idea where would would find a Time Lock nor why they would want to open it. - Marnal Gate "I was told by the producer that the guiding principle was to make the scripts complex enough to keep the Kids interested and simple enough for the Adults to understand!" -Douglas Adams on writing Doctor Who For Everything about the TARDIS check out www.whoniverse.net/tardis/ For all things Gallifreyan check out meshyfish.com/~roo/index.html

Hmm in that case - could be be used to open doors into other dimensions as well?

Provided there is a door to open in the first place. It can't make doors, just unlock them.

Great idea... Could spawn an interesting multi-episode story arc.
