Witcher Signs
A witcher uses a form of magic known as
signs. Signs are small magical tricks that are
the dagger to the long sword of spells. These
signs require a very small amount of magic
and of focus.
Most other magic users look down on
the use of signs since they are the lowest form of
magical evocation, but they serve witchers wel .
Witchers don’t have the magical attunement to
learn any magic beyond signs and do not learn
the required focus or precision to practice the
higher levels of spel s, even if they did have the
power.
However, signs have hidden depths. Not
only are there other, more complex signs, there
are alternate forms of all of the basic signs taught
to new witchers in the academies of Witcher
training.
