Witcher 3 Places of Power - How to strengthen your character's abilities

In The Witcher 3 game you can visit so-called "Places of Power", through which your character can strengthen his Witcher abilities and gain skill points. At each of these places you'll find a menhir that has been hollowed out at the top. In the opening you can see the respective Witcher sign.

Where can you find the Places of Power and what bonuses can you get?

In total, you can visit 23 different Places of Power. Depending on the character, you can boost "Aard", "Igni", "Yrden" "Quen" or "Axii" for 30 minutes. This proves especially useful when you are facing a difficult battle. Since the monsters in Witcher 3 are particularly vulnerable to certain characters, this allows you to prepare specifically for battles.In addition, you'll receive a skill point, which is particularly worthwhile, since you can otherwise only get them by leveling up.
