The '''Ornate Mirror''' is a unique magical object located in the [[Apothecary's Cellar]] in the [[Blighted Village]] during [[Act One]]. It guards the way into the hidden lab of a Thayian necromancer, Ilyn Toth, who was hiding among the people of the village years back.

Even though the magic on the door has faded, it is still working and will unleash quite devastating magic on anyone it deems an intruder. Every race can introduce themselves with a false name, though it doesn't affect the conversation. A [[Wizard]] can do a {{Ability check|Arcana|10}} to gain insight that the mirror reflects the habits and personality of its creator.

* If they read the [[Dark Journal]], the party can try to trick the mirror into thinking they are Ilyn Toth through a {{Ability check|Persuasion|15}}.


The mirror can also simply be destroyed; however, its medium toughness means that only a hit that deals at least 22 damage can damage it.

Successfully intimidating or answering its questions correctly will earn Mirror Master [[Inspiration]] for the [[Charlatan]], along with gaining entry into the lab.


If you fail the mirror's questions, it will unleash a flaming sphere that will began to float around, leaving a small trail of fire and unleashing a burst of flames, dealing {{DamageText|2d6|Fire}} with a {{Saving Throw|DEX|dc=12}} to halve the damage. It will take a route throughout the cavern and partly into the tunnel leading in before losing power and returning into the mirror. You can repeat the quiz as many times as you like, with the sphere lacking the power to attack again.<section end="mirrorquiz" />
