Contingency

Aldrich closed the quest tab and pondered the rewards.

Dark Wisdom was something Aldrich had heard about in the lore but had no real idea how it worked as no player character could really access it in the game.

It was supposed to be a crystallized fragment of a lich's essence that they granted to noteworthy undead beneath them, raising their levels.

This was how Liches could constantly increase the strength of their strongest undead. By having access to this, Aldrich no longer had to deal with many of his units, especially Alters with unique powers, getting phased out because their physical stats could no longer keep up.

He had no idea how levels would affect Alter powers themselves, but at the very least, he knew that the levels would strengthen their stats.
