Early in *Avowed*, after rescuing the Ambassador and conquering a formidable bear boss during the “Message from Afar” quest, you'll encounter a mysterious voice offering a tempting proposition. This guide explores the implications of accepting or rejecting this power.
Should You Accept or Reject the Voice's Power in *Avowed*?
Your initial conversation with the Voice centers around your approach to dealing with the injured and infected, revealing underlying philosophies within the game's narrative. The Voice then proposes a power exchange—a favor for a granted ability. Given the Voice's enigmatic nature, this decision isn't straightforward. Ultimately, accepting the Voice's power is generally recommended.
What Happens If You Reject the Voice's Power?

Rejecting the offer grants you the "Godlike's Will" ability, providing an extra ability point for the Fighter, Ranger, or Wizard Ability Trees. While beneficial, it's ultimately less advantageous than the alternative.
What Happens If You Accept the Voice's Power?

Accepting the Voice's power bestows the "Dream Touch" ability. This potent skill heals and revives nearby allies while inflicting damage over time on Delemgan, Dreamthralls, and Vessels. It costs 30 Essence and has a 90-second cooldown. This ability is significantly superior and a unique opportunity within the game.
Does the Choice Have Long-Term Ramifications?
While the immediate consequences are clear, the long-term effects of this choice remain unclear at this time. Current evidence suggests no major impact on the overall narrative, but this guide will be updated if further information emerges. The decision appears to be part of a broader, ongoing relationship with the entity.
