Accepting Sapadal's Offer: The Thorn of Sapadal
Choosing to accept grants you the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability.
This ability fires an energy thorn piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them. Its dual functionality – damage and crowd control – makes it incredibly useful, especially for combo attacks with spells like Fireball.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will
Refusal yields "Godlike's Will," granting an extra Ability Point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard trees. This is identical to the reward for refusing "Healing Touch" earlier.
While extra Ability Points are beneficial for skill customization, the unique and powerful Thorn of Sapadal is significantly superior. Only players seeking maximum difficulty should consider rejecting the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyment, accepting is the best strategy.
Now that you know to accept Sapadal's power, learn how to obtain Hylea's Talon for weapon and armor upgrades. For build adjustments, discover how to respec in Avowed and reallocate Ability Points.
