Sign
From Witcher Wiki
| "Though they are not warrior mages who employ powerful spells, witchers can cast simple magic spells that can prove effective when used properly. Witchers call these spells Signs and usually use them against monsters, though they also have non-combat applications." |
The witchers prefer single-handed weaponry because it leaves their other hand free to cast Signs. Known Signs are Aard, Igni, Yrden, Quen, Axii and Heliotrop.
[edit] In The Witcher computer game
Five of the Signs become available over the course of the game:
The Heliotrop Sign was not included in the game.
[edit] Trivia
- Leo, a witcher trainee character unique to the game, tells the witcher in the Prologue that he cannot use Signs since breaking his fingers on the gauntlet during training.
- The Signs included in the game are based on Classical Elements, both in their nature and by their symbols.
