The Benefits of Accepting Sapadal's Power

Accepting grants you the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy that passes through multiple enemies, causing damage on impact and momentarily Rooting them in place." This is a powerful addition to your arsenal. The damage is significant, and the root effect creates excellent opportunities for combos, providing extra time for spells like Fireball.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: The Downside

Refusing Sapadal's offer provides "Godlike's Will," granting an extra Ability Point. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier in the game. While extra Ability Points are always helpful for skill progression, "Thorn of Sapadal" offers a far more impactful and engaging gameplay advantage.

The only reason to reject Sapadal's offer is to intentionally increase the game's difficulty. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting is the clear winner.
