In Avowed, Sapadal's offer of power, similar to a previous "Voice" mission, initially presents a difficult choice. However, comparing the outcomes reveals a clear winner.

The Benefits of Accepting: Thorn of Sapadal
Accepting grants the "Thorn of Sapadal" ability: "Fires a thorn of energy piercing multiple enemies, inflicting damage and temporarily rooting them." This offers significant advantages. It's a potent damage source and the root effect creates valuable openings for combos, such as enhanced Fireball spellcasting.

Rejecting Sapadal's Offer: Godlike's Will
Refusal yields "Godlike's Will," providing 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 useful for skill progression, Thorn of Sapadal's unique capabilities are far superior.
Only players seeking maximum difficulty should reject the offer. For optimal builds and enjoyable gameplay, accepting Sapadal's power is the superior choice.
