binder illustration for my CAT unit zine!

from the zine: 'Not every arcane being can be slain – some can only be neutralised through the use of runic, through long and complicated inscriptions and processes which bind them to a vessel known as an artefact, trapping them within where they can do no harm. Preparing for a binding takes time and is highly collaborative; each species of arcane creature requires its own unique spell, a string of complex runes first inscribed into the vessel which will be used to contain them, and then gouged or painted into the earth, a rune circle, a kind of trap. It can take many binders working together and communicating closely to create the rune circle, especially to capture the most powerful arcane beings, and as many to activate the circle when the time comes. The binders work closely with the hunters in the field to neutralise their target; the hunters will first weaken it, then lure it into the rune circle for the binders to ensnare and bind to the artefact. Many rune circles include runes of slowing, immobilisation or pain to buy the binders time to complete the process. Given that much of their work takes place in the field, binders are taught basic self-defence and wear light-weight leather armour when on a mission, just in case they become caught up in the fray.'

Lionheart with his babies- both biological and adopted. He’s a den dad in my rewrite, and Greystripe is a crafter/cook instead of a warrior.

healer illlustration for my CAT unit zine!

from the zine:

‘It is important to note that runic, when used for healing, cannot work miracles. It cannot cure paralysis, blindness, or regrow severed limbs; it can be used to accelerate the healing process, to ward off infection and numb pain, but it can only heal the body in ways it could do on its own without magical intervention. For this reason it is important that healing mages are knowledgeable in traditional medicine as well as magic. Whilst a gifted healing mage may be able to string together runes which can make a broken bone knit back together instantaneously, rune magic cannot make the bone heal straight – it first must be set and splinted as though you were going to let time to its work. While runic is generally carved to grant its effects, healing magic is an exception; the runes are instead painted onto bandages or similar material in commercial ink, blood, a dye of the mage’s own concoction or whatever else is at a paw’s reach in the moment of an emergency. While some strings of runes can be used across many situations to grant a blanket effect – warding off infection, for instance – fully healing complex injuries requires a specially written spell. Similarly, spells specially written for an individual are more effective in easing the symptoms of long-term conditions like chronic pain. Some healers work as field doctors, remaining close at hand during missions, while others remain at the base and specialise in crafting spells applicable to other forms of medicine. Some even specialise in offering therapeutic services, creating runic wraps which ease nightmares or calm the mind; like other forms of runic healing these work best when specially written to cater to a cat’s unique psychological needs.’
