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.

Yeah, and that's Revivify. What Withers is doing for us is more like Resurrection (1,000g) or even True Resurrection (25,000g).

Edit: I have been notified that the combat log confirms that it's True Resurrection, which makes sense. I never noticed myself because I don't really use Withers for resurrection.

True Resurrection wouldn't even work on Astarion, so Withers is technically performing Divine Intervention every time he casts it for Astarion specifically. Dude is being extremely lenient with us.

Most people's names are written in the Book of Death using permanent ink.

Ours are written with #2 lead and a good eraser close by.

And yet when I asked him to revive the bard, he basically said, "Nah, that ones on you bro"
