Sign

"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 that leaves their other hand free to cast Signs. Known Signs are Aard, Igni, Yrden, Quen, Axii and Heliotrop.
