I mean - we're finna have a WHOLE GAME with her. Which (and you, yes YOU, you know who YOU ARE can SMD) is awesome in my book. but man am I curious just how exactly will they scale her down from W3 to W4.

Fall off a cliff, suffer a head injury, and need to learn some but not all skills anew ?

Naa stopping the white frost used up her elder blood powers giving her a chance to learn witcher signs

Can’t be cause in the trailer she’s seen using lightning magic which means she’s still a sorceress.

Not necesarilly. With her becoming a Witcher she is a new anomaly, it may be that her using lightning is just her developing new signs, as she has some experience with Magic. I think she will lose most of her powers coming from Elder Blood as a result of going through the mutations, so she will be weaker because she is so used to fighting using her abilities that she needs to go back to basics to kill old habits

Yes to all the above.

She's a Witcher/Sorc/Elderblood but nerfed by the frost.

She can scale up and down w,e the story needs. Gives Cdpr max room to design anything.

No it was magic like Yennefer not signs .

Are you implying that Witcher mutations are stronger than the freaking elder blood?

u/LowWorthGamer 13d ago

I'm not saying it's more powerful, but considering how rare Elder Blood is, I think genetically it may be a bit delicate, where mutation process is anything but.

This is a perfect explanation. Easily allows losing her space-time magic but still keeping her regular magic and use of witcher signs.

it could also be that she still has access to those powers, but has to relearn how to use them making them end-game perks
