The rolls on this quest are so dumb. Outside of evil cleric it seems the final roll needs to be 18. (Wisdom level 18 used the guidance cantrip as well but not sure if that's how it works).
guidance is for ability checks. bless is for saving throws.
Ty so much , for posting both ends
Why is Astarion so obessed with the book
If you read the books in the cellar (on the table to the left of the lever) before talking to the mirror, you get a dialogue option that you've read about Balsam ointment and know the answer.
The reward at that point in the game is practically nothing, so I just unlocked the book and fed the book to Gale without opening it.
