He’d started researching ways to bind his magic almost as soon as he became Arthur’s manservant.

It had taken three whole nights of paging through his spell book until he fell asleep with it on his chest, but in the end he’d found what he was looking for: A spell to chain his magic.

A few moments later, runes itching on his skin, he stood in front of the full body mirror Gaius usually kept covered with his morning robe and murmured the words he’d memorised from the book. Soon, the runes started glowing, the itch becoming a burning sensation, each repetition increasing the intensity. He gasped as the magic turned inwards, and something—the runes—started squeezing, constricting him. Like every time he’d outgrown a tunic as a child. They tightened further and further until he could barely force out the words...

Dimly he wondered if he’d cocked it up, but then, finally the feeling began to ease.

There was a noise behind him.

I say it jokingly, but Ransomed does owe something to the pastoral or even cottagecore, in that half its premise is "What if you could spend time in the beautiful rural outdoors doing simple subsistence tasks with your loved ones until your soul knits back together."

But another way to put it is "intense emotional whump with a series of Thomas Kinkade paintings in the background."

(I'm taking a moment to muse on whether Lilli Ausric would love Thomas Kinkade paintings. If not, it's only because she doesn't think the hovels of commoners deserve romanticizing. My god, would she go for paintings of luminescent angels, though.)
