An assassin's ghost is magically bound to the mirror and can be summoned by the following rhyme:

Magic mirror on the wall
Summon forth your shade;
Night's dark vengeance, heed my call,
And wield you murderous blade.

The entity in the mirror is the spirit of a nameless assassin who once belonged to a secret society called the Ba'al Verzi.  If a creature speaks the rhyme while standing within 5 feet of the mirror and staring at it' own reflection, the assassin's ghost appears nearby.

The spirit assumes solid form, appearing as a darkly handsome thirty-year-old man with bloodshot eyes.  He doesn't speak.  The assassin's summoner can command the assassin to kill one living creature within Strahd's domain that the summoner mentions by name.  The assassin automatically knows the distance and direction to the named target.  The assassin attacks any other creature that tries to prevent him from completing his assignment.

Once the assassin completes his task, he disappears.  If commanded to attack a creature that is either dead or undead, or if he isn't given an appropriate name with in 1 round of being summoned, the assassin disappears.

Once the power of the mirror is used, it becomes dormant until the next dawn.
