The '''Witchers' medallion''' is a silver symbol of the [[witcher]]s' profession, each one is shaped to represent the school a witcher comes from. It is sensitive to magic, vibrating and tugging on its chain when spells are being cast or magical beings, like [[genie]]s, are present. This magic medallion shaped like a wolf's head is given to every young witcher candidate who has passed the [[Trial of the Grasses]]. The origin of the first medallions is unknown, though it is assumed they were made in the magic forge at [[Kaer Morhen]]. The medallions vibrate in response to magic in all its forms, including curses, charms and spells. They also warn of lurking monsters born of magic or magic experimentation. However, witcher medallions are not foolproof, certain monsters such as dopplers and higher vampires remain undetected whenever in range of a medallion.
{{Quote|The witcher medallion is not only an insignia of our profession-it is also one of its tools. It has numerous useful capabilities that are accessible, of course, only to one who possesses the necessary knowledge and training. First of all, it reacts to the presence of sorcerous auras in the immediate surroundings, making us aware of nearby spell casting, active illusions, or magical creatures. It also warns the owner of sudden dangers, thus providing an additional moment to react. Keep in mind, though, that the medallion is not infallible. A very strong magical aura-such as those found in Places of Power or during the solstices-can provoke aberrant reactions. In large cities, where people widely use simple magical amulets or sorcerous alarm systems to protect their homes, coin, or ruttish wives, the medallion can also behave abnormally.|[[Vesemir]] - The World of the Witcher.}}
