The title. Noone sane ever used Orb of power to level a troop. If it provides Gold Elite as well, there are MAYBE some use of it.

When I got my 9th one, I did, just for a laugh!
But if it Medalled the troop as well, that would be slightly more useful.

Hmm … nah. On one hand, that’s _literally_ what the new “Orbs of Glory” are for. Orbs of Power never applied Elite Levels before (and might even predate Elite Levels as a feature).
However, I _could_ agree with some kind of Soulforge recipe to craft Orbs of Glory (especially if requiring an Orb of Power as one of the ingredients).
