Along your adventure, you will encounter many helpful people, creatures and landmarks.
Skill Spheres
A Skill Sphere lets you choose one temporary skill upgrade for your character. (See individual Classes for possible ones.)
You get to choose among a selection of three random upgrades (for the skills you have). This selection may be rerolled at the cost of getting a few 
Shadow Curses.
You obtain possible rerolls from the Dark Citadel Accomplishment (completing the game a number of times).
Trinket Pickers
A Trinket Picker either looks like a material chest, or will be an NPC. Either offers a selection of three random trinkets, of which you can pick one.
This selection may be rerolled at the cost of getting a few Shadow Curses.
You obtain possible rerolls from the Dark Citadel Accomplishment (completing the game a number of times).

Pyres
Appearing in New Game Plus, these will remove half of your current Shadow Curses (rounded down), or at least 8. (Or all of them if you have less.)
The chance of finding a Pyre can be increased with the Righteous Flames alteration from the Architect.
Braziers
Appearing in New Game Plus, these small fires will remove some of your Shadow Curses. The amount removed at NG+1 is ????, with one less for each NG level further, to a minimum of 1.
If you upgraded the Pyre at the Guild Hall, they will remove one more curse per pyre upgrade. (This is added after the minimum of 1 stated above.)
Shadow Rifts
Shadow Rifts offer a choice of three items (Trinkets or Skill Upgrades), one of which will be a Cursed Trinket.
You can select which one(s) to obtain, but, depending on how many you take and their quality, you will get an increasing amount of Shadow Curses.
