Heliotrop Sign

From Witcher Wiki

The Heliotrop Sign is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It's made by crossing one's wrists, and works as a buffer.

[edit] In Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni

Heliotrop works as a shield against charms, spells, sounds and similar, but is useless against physical blows and projectiles.

[edit] Notes
