          Yeah, there are multiple endings based on arbitrary choices made in the some of the dialogues scattered throughout the game. In the “good” ending, Ciri wins and survives, and Geralt gifts her a silver sword, implying that she becomes a witcher

      The Trial of Grasses is kind of a defining moment in a witcher’s life.

      Thats really my only beef at the moment with the choice, but I’ve been awake for over 48 hours so I’m not thinking too clearly at the moment.

        She’s chugging potions and using Witcher spells like Igni, so she must have gone through the trial at some point. But that could actually be a plot point shown in flashbacks.

        I’m curious if her own teleporting powers are affected by the trial though. That electric thing she does in the trailer doesn’t look like any of the known Witcher tricks.

          Devs made a video that confirmed that she went through the Trial of the Grasses (plus in some shots you can see her cat eyes).

          I’m assuming that Yennefer helped somehow, given that she was able to keep Uma alive during his Trial.

          But also, Ciri knows full magic, not just signs, because Yennefer and Triss taught her, AFAIK. So it seems to make sense that her combat magic is more advanced than standard witcher signs
