Complete Gangplank Champion Guide - League of Legends Season 15
Trial of the Grasses is an essential witcher trial that transforms ordinary humans into superhuman monster slayers. During this brutal process, candidates ingest special alchemical compounds and undergo intense mutations that permanently alter their physiology.
The procedure takes place in specialized laboratories and consists of several stages:
- Initial Testing
- Candidates undergo preliminary examinations
- Only the most physically fit are selected
- Mental preparedness is thoroughly evaluated
- Mutation Process
- Multiple rounds of consuming mutagens
- Extreme pain as body transforms
- High mortality rate (7 out of 10 die)
Trial of the Grasses
- Physical Changes
- Enhanced strength, speed and agility
- Accelerated healing abilities
- Heightened senses
- Resistance to disease and toxins
- Slowed aging
- Cat-like eyes with vertical pupils
- Recovery Period
- Several days to weeks of rest
- Adjustment to new abilities
- Training to control enhanced capabilities
The few who survive emerge with superhuman abilities but lose their ability to procreate. These mutations give witchers their signature capabilities needed to effectively hunt monsters.
Only the School of the Wolf at Kaer Morhen still possesses the complete knowledge of conducting the Trial, though the practice has largely been abandoned due to its brutality and high death rate.
Candidates who undergo the trial can never return to normal life - the changes are permanent and irreversible. This transformation is what sets witchers apart and enables them to fulfill their roles as professional monster hunters.
The trial represents both the incredible power and steep cost of becoming a witcher. While it grants amazing abilities, the process itself is immensely traumatic and lethal for most who attempt it.
