In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[ | ]

Place of power

Places of power look like large stones with a hollowed out section in which an ethereal version of the various witcher signs hover. Geralt must complete a sustained interaction with each stone to earn a point which can then be applied via the Character panel to progress his character abilities. These points can be allocated towards any ability, they are not restricted to the sign governed by the stone.

In The Witcher computer game[ | ]

Place of Power

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.

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

Rituals[ | ]

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

effect icon Ritual of Magic All Signs' intensity increased by 100% for 5 hours.
effect icon Ritual of Purification Rids the body of Toxicity and intoxication, it has similar effect as using a White Honey potion, i.e. nullifying any current potion effects in addition to detoxification. However, in contrast to White Honey, it does not nullify effects gained from additional substances or the Cat potion.
effect icon 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.

Mechanics[ | ]

  • Left-click on the blue light source to activate a Place of Power.
  • Choose the action you want to perform from the list of available actions, initially there is only the Ritual of Magic.

There are Places of power in all locations of the game, except Kaer Morhen keep, in the Prologue.
