 As a shield of reflection, Mirrorbright can be a useful early gift for neutral characters, but its hallucination resistance is only marginally useful in the early game, and is almost completely superseded by a well-enchanted [[unicorn horn]]. While Mirrorbright makes reflection more available, characters with early wishes have little reason to select it over a normal shield of reflection.
-In addition, wearing Mirrorbright still gives spellcasting penalties even to Healers, forcing them to remove it when they want to heal and limiting its use in combat situations. As their first sacrifice gift, it will also be more difficult for Healers to obtain an [[artifact weapon]] afterwards that can compensate for their generally low hitting power.

-Mirrorbright is a [[neutral]] artifact [[shield of reflection]] specific to [[SLASH'EM]].  It is the first sacrifice gift for [[healer]]s.  When worn, in addition to the usual [[reflection]], it provides [[hallucination]] resistance, much in the manner of [[Grayswandir]].

-The main virtue of Mirrorbright is simply that it is a shield of reflection that neutrals can receive via sacrifice.  This can provide a much-needed property early in the game and/or save a character a [[wish]].  However, it is certainly not worth an artifact wish by itself; wish for a normal shield of reflection instead.  Hallucination resistance is only marginally useful in the early game, and is almost completely superseded by a well-enchanted [[unicorn horn]].

-Unfortunately, Mirrorbright actually poses something of a problem for healers.  It is their first sacrifice gift; as such, it is rather unhelpful.  Reflection is very useful, but in general, healers won't want to get it from a shield of reflection, as it makes spellcasting - which many healers will rely on - almost useless.  Additionally, the guaranteed gift of Mirrorbright makes it far more difficult for healers to acquire an artifact weapon, which only worsens their generally low hitting power.
