When you activate the Mirror Of Loss, you will be presented with various dialog options. Next, you need to choose the following choices in the dialog:

  • When the dialog with the mirror appears, you have four different options. The first thing you need to do is select the Study the Mirror option. Selecting this will trigger an Arcana check, so make sure you have a companion interacting with the artifact with a good Intelligence level.
  • Next, you need to select the Offer a prayer option and pass the Religion check. If you pass this and the previous checks, you can fully understand how the Mirror Of Loss works.
  • After you pass both checks, the last available option besides Leave will be "Gaze into the mirror, intent on offering it one of your memories." After selecting this option, a short scene will begin in which the Narrator will tell you that you will need to sacrifice a part of yourself.
  • After the cutscene, you will be presented with different options for which memories you can sacrifice. Whichever option you choose, the way this mirror works is that it takes 2 points of a certain skill and gives +1 to another, depending on which option you choose.

By the way, you can also deceive the Mirror Of Loss, thus avoiding the loss of two skill points. If the companion using the artifact has a high enough Charisma level, he can offer the mirror a false memory and thus only get an additional buff.
