I'm too much further into the game to bother reloading, but the damaged stats aren't apparent or visible enough.
I think there should be a permanent symbol on the portrait to make them more noticable, I didn't realize Lae'zell had -2 to con, wis and int until much further into the game.
Some players think that greater restoration should be able to fix it or such (going by what I found out about via google > reddit), or at the least reversible somehow because yes I find it game destroyingly bad and want it undone.
Had I known I would have instead save scummed the saves or shoved a hireling into the machine instead, or just skipped it altogether.
Stuff to remember for second playthrough I guess.
