Your engine will twist and slide. Not a good thing.

happened 2 me. it twist. can cause major body damage. shifting linkige can break throttle can become stuck open cold bend crankshaft meaning full engine rebuild. mounts are reletively easy and not too expensive to replace. all that is really needed is a couple of jacks new mounts from the local Napa or other automotive parts shop probably ordered. and the right size wrenches. At an honest auto shop 200 or 300 $

This happened on my jeep, and the twisting motion broke the exhaust pipe as it enters the muffler, which sucked since it was only about 18 months old.
But much worse things can happen if the remaining mount(s) fail. Mounts are cheap. Fix them before it becomes an expensive mess.

Your engine will sink, eventually dropping the transmission onto the subframe, and vibration will cause a crack/leak in transmission casing.
Yes, it happened to my Ford Contour, '96, twin to your Mystique.

Depending on the vehicle, mostly you'll noice more vibration and a lot twisting specifically in the shifter area (if its on the floor). Get if fixed soon.

depending on which mounts are bad, the engine/trans assembly will lift up, then slam back down on acceleration/ deceleration, gear shifting.etc. not a good thing, and i will guarantee you it will tear up things that normally dont go bad.
