Successfully offer a prayer ({{Ability check|Religion|25}}) to the Mirror of Loss in the [[House of Grief]], then sacrifice one or more of your ability scores. You may receive the option to choose a permanent +2 bonus to any ability, and/or a +1 bonus to CHA. If you do not succeed on the DC 25 Religion check, the +2 buff is not available as a random reward. You can alternatively sacrifice your knowledge of the ''[[Necromancy of Thay]]'' to receive a guaranteed +2 of your choice, even without offering a prayer.
Offer a prayer ({{Ability check|Religion|25}}) to the Mirror of Loss in the [[House of Grief]], then sacrifice one of your ability scores, or your knowledge of the [[Necromancy of Thay]]. You'll receive the option to choose a +2 bonus to any ability.
 
If you sacrificed an ability, you'll receive the ''Stolen Vigour'' curse (-2 to that Ability). This can be cured via {{SAI|Remove Curse}} (this curse as of v4.1.1.3686210 goes away upon a long rest, and you retain the +2 bonus).


For each ability you sacrifice, you'll receive the ''Stolen Vigour'' curse, giving -2 to that Ability. This can be cured via [[Remove Curse]], or (as of v4.1.1.4251417) performing a long rest. Either method of removing the curse allows you to retain the stat buff(s) you may have received.
Occasionally, when sacrificing an ability to the mirror, you may receive the ''Patriar's Memory'' buff (+1 CHA). If this happens, interact with the mirror again, sacrifice your knowledge of [[Necromancy of Thay]], and choose an ability to receive a +2 bonus. After both interactions, the mirror is sated. Cast Remove Curse and you are left with +1 to Charisma and +2 to an ability of your choice.


Buffs granted by the Mirror can raise the affected ability score up to 24.  
Can be raised above 20 (up to 24, for all memories, including the Patriar's)
If no prayer is offered prior to sacrificing memories, no bonus is received.


As of v4.1.1.4811634, the bonuses from the Necromancy of Thay are properly lost when you sacrifice its knowledge.
As of Hotfix #4, all bonuses from the Necromancy of Thay are retained when you sacrifice its knowledge, along with the Ability Score increase - this is likely a bug.


You will receive the ''Patriar's Memory'' (+1 CHA) if the Narrator tells you the following after sacrificing an ability score: "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." You can continue to reload until you receive this specific memory, though be aware that this outcome becomes significantly less likely to occur for characters who have completed the DC 25 Religion check, due to the mechanics of how the various outcomes are chosen (described in detail on the Mirror of Loss page).
As of Hotfix #4, it is unclear whether the ''Patriar's Memory'' buff is a bug, as it doesn't trigger every time. This may require several save-and-load attempts to attain. It is also unclear whether there is a way to gain a +1 bonus to ability scores other than Charisma. {{verify}}


=== Partial ceremorphosis ===
In order to ensure you receive ''Patriar's Memory'' the story the Narrator tells you must be the following: "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." You can continue to reload until you receive this specific memory.

If Astarion is the one depicted as a statue, the Sweet Stone Features condition overrules the Curse of the Sired condition that he would otherwise acquire in the [[Szarr Palace]].

With a statue of himself at camp, Astarion does not suffer that penalty and gets to keep the effect of the Sweet Stone Features condition instead, even while in the palace.
