Editing Mapping of the Heart

[[File:Mapping of the Heart.PNG|thumb|A character undergoing the Mapping of the Heart.]]
The '''Mapping of the Heart''' is a ritual carried out by the [[Viconia DeVir|Inquisitor of Shar]] at the [[House of Grief]]. The mapping is performed on whoever sits on the stone bench at {{Coords|-272|9}}. Only one character per run can undergo the Mapping of the Heart. [[Shadowheart]] will have a unique interaction with the Inquisitor on the bench and will not complete a typical mapping.

The answers to the mapping affect the battle with the [[Viconia DeVir]] by giving her two specialized spells {{SAI|Castigate Heartform}} and {{SAI|Mapped Terror}}. The Mapping can be skipped entirely by passing a {{Ability check|Investigation|20}} to find a button on the wall that opens the hidden passage to the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]].

== Questions ==
The questions are always asked in the same order. The answers provided to each question award a hidden value towards generating the Heartform, similar to how dialogue choices can improve or reduce [[Approval]] with companions.<!-- Needs values assigned to every answer and how they impact the ultimate outcome of the mapping. Is there a mod that reveals this? --> 

* "What last caused you to shed a tear?"
** Grief.
** Loneliness.
** A wound.
** An onion.
** A beautiful sunset.

== Outcomes ==
The outcomes of the mapping affect the [[Viconia DeVir]] battle in two ways. She applies a curse using {{SAI|Castigate Heartform}}, the effect of which is altered by the heartform she decides for the party. Secondly, your answer to "your greatest fear" changes the effect of her [[Mapped Terror]] ability.
* {{Cond|Craven Heart}} - "You flee when you should fight, seek to soften every hard choice. You are untempered."
* {{Cond|False Heart}} - "Deceiving as easily others breathe. You hide the truth even from yourself. But your true self is nothing to fear."
* {{Cond|Jealous Heart}}
* {{Cond|Melancholy Heart}} - "You possess a melancholy heart. A smile is a stranger upon your lips. You do not know what you are missing, but you miss it nonetheless."
* {{Cond|Prying Heart}} - "You crave insights and secrets that are not your own. You live through others, and neglect the self. We can help you rediscover you."
