📋 About This Mod
When you find out about the purpose of the Mirror of Loss, either by succeeding the DC25 Arcana check when clicking it, or by finding the Hastily Written Note from Shadowheart, every party member will gain a new spell that lets them choose and swap the memory from the Mirror of Loss. This works retroactively if you install the mod after doing the mirror.
There is a few details you may want to know about:
-
[]When you use the spell to acquire a memory it uses up all six of your memory offerings to the mirror, preventing you from using it (this is to prevent players from using the spell and then gaining another +2 bonus from the mirror)
[
]When you use the spell to acquire a memory all other memories will be removed, this is also true for those gained by the mirror, not just from this spell (again, this is just to ensure you only ever have one memory) - The Patriar's Memory (+1 CHA) can be chosen and stacked with the other memories, you can however, not remove it anymore, only with script extender commands (though there is no reason to remove it)
Selunite Shadowheart also has access to these spells, unlike in the vanilla game. It is up to you to decide if you want to use them on her.
