Heliotrop



The Heliotrop Sign is a simple magical sign used by witchers. It is made by crossing one's wrists, and works as a buffer to the effects of a magical attack. Geralt uses this sign in the short story "A Grain of Truth" when Vereena uses a sonic attack against him.

He also used the sign to protect himself, somewhat more successfully, from Yennefer when they first met in the short story "The Last Wish".

In Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni
Heliotrop works as a shield against charms, spells, sounds and similar, but is useless against physical blows and projectiles.

Heliotrop Sign is the ultimate ability of the magic branch of the skill tree. To use this ability you need to fill the adrenaline bar by using any of the other Signs. Once the bar is fully charged, you can activate the Sign by pressing X (by default) and the adrenaline level is set back to zero. The Heliotrop Sign creates a temporary immobile circular force-field area around Geralt, which considerably slows down everything inside the field except himself.
 * The adrenaline bar can start refilling immediately, even while the Sign lasts.
 * Note that the adrenaline bar isn't filled by casting Quen Sign, but by it's discharges.
