What is Withers saving up for? Spoiler

I never understood why Withers requires money for his support, is there any Lore to justify this?

I always thought it would be better if his payment method was soul coins, then we would have to prioritise buffing Karlach or restrictions.

I think it's because of who he actually is. He's technically forbidden from directly interfering with mortal affairs, so by "selling" his services it can be seen as an equal exchange instead of directly aiding mortals.

And I use selling in quotes, because his services are insanely cheap for what he offers, and you have 0 penalty for stealing your money back from him.
