A question about the skill A Distant Memory(and others like it)

[Pathosis]

Hey guys the Cursebreaker's skill A Distant Memory say's to raise humanity on a character for every Haint token on the Cursebreaker and then says to raise humanity for every success rolled. My question is, does the first part of that skill (and any written similar) happen whether or not you roll successes? Or do you still have to roll a success to do any of it? It doesn't mention anything about having to roll to get the first part, but the card does have a bones value so I don't know if it is for the whole skill.
