What's a couple decades with a dying witcher school, the world's most powerful sorceresses and the ability to teleport to the dimension where magic was birthed?

I'm pretty sure Yenn or Triss mention how trivial it would be for them to figure out the potions and transmutations required to make the trials happen but the Witchers are very, very against an outsider touching it all. The original plans were made by a sorceress in any case.

I'm sure they'll have a perfectly reasonable way of explaining how she went through the trials.

I'm not very deep into the lore but aren't there other Witcher schools that might not necessarily see the transformation the same way the wolf school came to see it?

Yeah, totally. As far as game lore goes I don't see why they can't change that. As far as we can see all of the schools had widely varied ideologies. What is good, what is evil, contract killing and more. I see no reason in established lore that another school couldn't have had female witchers or why the Lodge wouldn't want to get their hands on the recipes to revive the witcher schools.
