Circolo degli elementi

A Circoli elementali (not to be confused with a "Place of Power") is a place where magic is strong, enough for people to have erected monuments. Maghi can draw power from the Circles of Elements, and witchers can learn new Segni, as well as getting a momentary boost for the spells they already know. These are likely manifestations of "intersezioni".

Prologo

In the Prologue, there is only one circle of elements, Circolo delle Pietre Sussurranti, for the sign Aard. It is impossible to miss as the plot necessitates that Geralt find it in order to get out of the laboratory. It can be found at the end of the very dark underground passages leading off the witchers' laboratory.

Capitolo I

Capitolo I is where Geralt can learn his second sign, Igni. There are only two circles of elements in this Act. The Circolo del Viandante Spaventato is near the cave entrance, and the Circolo del Fuoco Interiore is inside the Crypt.

In Capitolo II, Geralt has the opportunity to learn the rest of the signs available to him as a witcher: Axii, Quen and Yrden. There are five circles of elements in Capitolo II.

the Circle of Lifeless Air, in the Lionhead Spider Cultists' lair in the Sewers
the Circolo del Fuoco Interiore, also in the lair
the Gate of Water, inside the Mage's tower
the Circolo delle Pietre Sospese, in the cave in the Swamp

Capitolo III

Two more circles of elements are found in Capitolo III. The Circle of the Vengeful Flame, in the Elven Ruins part of the sewers and the Circolo del Potere Calante on the first level of the Salamandra base.

Note: All the Circles of Elements from Capitolo II remain available during Capitolo III.

Capitolo IV

Since Geralt has no access to any of the previously explored locations in Capitolo IV, it is lucky that we find a full complement of elemental circles here.

the Circle of the Winter Storm, northeast of the Hermit's hut
the Circle of the Last Drop, on the west side of Black Tern Island, not far from the Lady's area
the Circle of the Walking Fire, near the Druids' circle in the Fields
the Circolo delle Terre Aride, in the crypt in the fields
the Circolo del Potere Calante, near the Naiad at the Lakeside

Capitolo V

There are only three elemental circles in Capitolo V, but at least the most used, Igni, Aard and Quen, are there.

the Circle of Mute Thunder, in the Cemetery
the Circolo del Fuoco Interiore, in a southern chamber of Raven's crypt in the Swamp Cemetery
the Circle of Rolling Rocks, in a northern chamber of Raven's crypt

Epilogo

There are no circles of elements at all in the Epilogo as Geralt fights his way through a burning Temple Quarter towards his final epic battle, with the help of a trusted ally. Depending on the Path chosen by our hero, that companion is either Yaevinn (Scoia'tael path), Siegfried (Order path) or Triss (Witcher / neutral path).

In "Il prezzo della neutralità"

In Il prezzo della neutralità, there are only two circles of elements: one for Aard, southwest of the camp, and one for Igni, southeast of the camp and across the river. They have no other, more interesting names.
