Maybe is because my memories of the books are a little spotty, Tomas, but I'm sure she never specifies she's allergic to potions. The comment she makes about that nobody could recognize her is because she's known for her hair, and it burned away - not because her body was damaged as badly as you are suggesting. I mean, there was a scar left on her chest so bad that she couldn't wear shirts or dresses with a neckline ever again. Her own words, not mine. If they were able to fix her, why would they not fix that?

All Aretuza students are fixed as little girls, yes. But I don't think Sapkowski needed to add except Triss Merigold, because she's addicted to magic, for readers to infer that. He had already established her magic alergy.

Triss's age on TW3 is irrelevant. We are talking about book Triss and, as you should know, TW3 is a disaster about sticking to canon.

As far as I understand and remember the books, Triss Merigold is allergic to magic. Full stop. Except her own. That said, if I have forgotten some important the detail or I'm missing something, please tell me so. The Witcher sage is by far my favorite book series. I'm not one of those super fans who could and would bombard you with trivia about it first chance they get, but it would be unpleasant to not know something so fundamental.
