Place of Power

From Witcher Wiki

In the game, Places of Power are (nearly) invisible spots where magic is concentrated. They are not Circles of Elements. Unlike those, Places of Power are practically invisible until Geralt approaches them. There is an audible roaring sound when he gets close enough to them which is also a clue to finding them. And finally, if the witcher medallion is set to detect magic, it will vibrate near the Places of Power.

These places of power are indicated on maps with a blue dot.

[edit] Rituals

In these spots, depending on how talents have been allocated, Geralt can perform different rituals.

	Ritual of Magic	all Signs' intensity increased by 100% for 5 hours
	Ritual of Purification	rids the body of Toxicity and intoxication, it has the same effect as using a White Honey potion, i.e. nullifying any current potion effects in addition to detoxification
	Ritual of Life	regeneration speed increased, not unlike a Swallow potion

Geralt can perform the Ritual of Magic by default. The other two rituals require higher level Intelligence upgrades before they can be performed.
