Modder ‘menschfeind13’ released a pretty cool mod for The Witcher 3. The “Magic Spells for Signs” mod brings new magic abilities to The Witcher 3, allowing players to cast meteors and tornadoes, summon golems and more.
Going into more details, this mod brings new magic items that modify/replace signs abilities when equipped in quick and/or trophy slots. You can buy these items from ofieri and novigradian merchants. Not only that, but each of the items has unique descriptions to connect them with the game lore.
Some items are trophies and other are quickslot items. What this means is that you can combine them in order to have different effects to signs.
In order to make spells work, you’ll have to place quickslot items in your quick slot (where the torch is) and simply choose one, like you choose bomb or crossbow. Trophy items can then be placed in your Roach trophy slot, and you can then use the corresponding sign. To use spells which modify the alternate cast you need the proper sign skill equipped in the skill tree.
If you want to switch back to the standard vanilla sign’s effect, you’ll have to choose torch, bomb or crossbow. You’ll also have to unequip a tome from the trophy slot.
It’s also worth mentioning that you can use the following console command to get all of them:
witchermage
Last but not least, the modder claims that “every aspect of the spells scales with the corresponding signs power and the current Geralt’s level to make them better balanced.”

Have fun!

i get flashbacks from kingdoms of amalur.
Why o why didn’t cdpr include these effects. I’ve always hated how basic the Witcher abilities looked. So generic and NO Flash. Made no sense other than “consolization” to be blamed.
Because witchers aren’t mages
That’s a stupid excuse! Its a video game, it should be fun.
It’s not an excuse. Witchers arent mages, period. You might as well criticize it for Geralt not having wings and flying around because it would be an awesome mechanic.
I agree, as fun as it could possibly be, Witcher are not Mages, and this sort of mod messes with the lore, and I like my games for being close to lore, and not trying to break immersion.
Very true but it can be fun to play around with for a few min
this tend to happen when people have comprehension problems man cause apparently somewhere along the line you and i forgot that witches aren’t mages. HaHa, no matter how clearly you explain something there is always a moron with an agenda, that will misrepresent what you say. No sweat it homie, thanks for having comprehension skills. Don’t even bother with idiots like that man. 3rd grade was a biche for some people i guess.
You are so dumb. And the sad part is 2 People thumb’d you up. I said EFFECTS YOU IDIOT. I didn’t say “name his powers this way”. I love this game to death and it’s my #1 but it doesn’t take a keen eye to noticed that the Witcher ability EFFECTS are very weak looking. They should be more interactive looking. Instead they look very one dimensional and drawn buy a 3rd grader. I never said anything about, make his powers this way… I said THE EFFECTS SHOULD BE MORE FLASHY. YOU IMBECILE…
You seem more interested in foaming at the mouth than having a discussion, so I’ll leave you to your infantile hissy fit.
Yes because it’s my fault that you don’t know how to properly read and comprehend. Fuq off & enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Was that infantile enough for you. Learn to comprehend Gayboy…
Exactly.. they had to make sure it ran on console but also remember that based on hardware surveys most pc gamers are running mid range setups which at the time would have been good for 1080p60 with game works off
So i guess games don’t have Low, Mid, High, Ultra, Uber/Insane settings anymore? Hmmmm , what kinda dumbshit am i hearing or have spat at me. What does “base hardware have to do with anything man? what is happening here… Why are you making excuses for these people.
Yes they do have settings that scale…but I don’t see how that changes the fact that the overwhelming majority of PC gamers have mid-range cpus, 12 gigs or less ram and a mid to low range gpu…
Recommend settings are currently hardware needed to run a game at 1080p30 locked with the possibility to run at 60fps.
Only about 1.5% of PC gamers have high end systems which would be a 2080 or better, more than 12 gigs of RAM a high end cpu which is 6 cores with multi threading or begrr8bnnm?m????mv by ggh c
A console due to its to the metal coding allows the hardware to punch way above it’s weight. That’s something you can’t do on a PC due to security.
Yes new apis allow closer to the metal access to the GPU but unlike a console they are stil restricted to CPU access and even GPU access…on console that’s not an issue plus there is no overhead
As far as i can remember, DF used GTX750Ti/R7 260X/R7 360 to achieved their tests using console settings.
It’s difficult to say that a base consoles “punch way above its weight”…
Nevertheless, for the “CPU” it’s a bit different, an I3 4130 had been used to reach the base console performance. Still nothing special nevertheless still batter than the performance we could expect from Jaguar cores.
Yes the jaguar cores are..horrible. the digital foundry video where they matched to that hardware was based on the base models not the x1x or ps4 pro
The x1x especially can nearly match a PC with a GTX 1080 especially at 4k. The ps4 pro is closer to a 1070 and generally requires checkerboard upscaling for 4k. Games on the pro usually run a native 1800p or 3200×1800.
I had a gtx 1080 and I often compared it to what the x1x could do and the x1x was… impressive especially considering it’s hardware and the fact that the GPU is bottlenecked by the jaguar CPU.
The next gen of consoles is using Ryzen so that’s a huge boost in CPU power. They are also using custom Navi based GPU’s as far as we know. They will definitely punch above Navi that’s on the market today. Console games (if made properly) are insanely optimized and it’s way beyond the level a PC game can ever achieve because they don’t have to worry about security for the hardware like they do on PC.
Just look at Red Dead 2 on the x1x. It’s incredibly impressive. It runs at native 4k with HDR and it’s absolutely gorgeous. There is no $500 PC that could match that.
Last gen, for the last say…3 years you could easily build a cheap PC that outperformed the console. That’s only because that generation lasted way too long. That hasn’t happened this time around. A mid range system can beat the base consoles and at times the ps4 pro but not the Xbox one x…even with it’s gimped CPU. The only exception is if there are hundreds of npc’s on screen and it chokes the CPU.
Nope, the Xbox One X can’t even match a 1070 on FH4 which is the best case scenario for such console.
Uhm… yeah it can lol.
When that game launched I had a 1080 and the game ran better on the Xbox at 4k. Even when I matched settings I would get dips sometimes but it never dips on the x1x. On top of that the Xbox (and PlayStation) do HDR much better than Nvidia. Colors are more accurate and so is contrast and brightness even when you fully calibrate an Nvidia GPU
Sorry dude. It’s the truth. I have no reason to lie to you.
A GTX 1070 using better settings than Xbox One X…

A GTX980 was needed to maintain a steady 60fps 1080p Ultra, so i don’t see impact from consoles on such game.
Someone will fix that
For a second after seeing the thumbnail I thought this was a Krillin mod replacing Geralt.
Confirmed: TW3 IS the new Skyrim!
