Surrendering a memory to the mirror requires choosing one [[Ability Scores|Ability]] to sacrifice, which will be temporarily cursed with [[Stolen Vigour]], a -2 penalty to the chosen ability. The curse lasts until taking a [[Long Rest]] or using the [[Remove Curse]] spell. If the character made the successful prayer check beforehand, they might unlock a dialogue choice of a second Ability which will receive a permanent +2 bonus (up to 24). Memory dialogue choice that triggers this additional dialogue is random and not class-specific, with "incorrect" choices yielding only curse and no boon.

If you have read the [[Necromancy of Thay]] and acquired the [[Forbidden Knowledge]] condition, you may surrender it instead of an Ability. This will allow you to receive the +2 bonus even if you failed the prayer check.
