I'm not really sure if it's a bug or outdated information on irowiki.
Wiki states that currently Ashes of Darkness doesn't serve any purpose anymore. I've never visited tower before and expected that I can freely move between tower and cities to refill supples. But after I left tower several times, I was unable to reenter it because "you ran out of Ashes of Darkness to enter" or something like this.
So, does it actually have a purpose to limit number of times you can leave it or it's bugged?
