The Mirror of Loss is a large mirror found in both the Gauntlet of Shar at (X:-645, Y:-735) and the House of Grief at (X:-474, Y:-1650). The former is cracked and cannot be used for reflection, however the latter is functional and bestows a bonus and malus upon the user.
It is highly recommended for the player to prepare and save before interacting with the Mirror of Loss. Upon interaction, the player may attempt to pass both an Arcana (DC 25) and a Religion (DC 25) check access its benefits.
Once the player has passed both of these checks, they may surrender a memory to the Mirror of Loss to permanently gain +2 to an Ability of their choice, but become temporarily cursed with a -2 to another Ability. If you have read the Necromancy of Thay and acquired the Forbidden Knowledge condition, you may surrender it instead. The curse can be lifted by the Remove Curse spell or by taking a Long Rest.
While selecting which ability to give up you can receive the following feedback from the Narrator which will provide an additional +1 to Charisma. "Disappointment floods your mind. You were sure to succeed Stelmane, but Lord Enver Gortash has stolen your support. All that charming and cajoling in the parlous of the Upper City, Wasted."
