Cathul was a member of Clan Lok for years, practically from the day she opened the Mandalore Psychology Clinic. For years, all that she really did was practicing, sometimes to the tune of all-nighters seeing patients and trying to come to terms with their problems. She did not see it coming at all that she would have been feeling empty to do the same thing day after day and not get the most of what her Force power would allow her to do. She already had a master willing to teach her the more basic spells that most people would readily associate with space witches (a.k.a. Force-users): Force push/pull, Force vision and mind trick. As a witch doctor she does get her share of Force-using patients, light and dark. It was her turn to get herself a proper beskar'gam. So she took out the datapad she uses for taking notes on patients to write, using the official letterhead of the Clinic to write her order for a beskar'gam:

By now I fully embrace the galaxy of opportunities that my own Force-sensitivity brings about, and my ability to use the Force. But my current outfit that I call a beskar'gam is, let's put it this way, inadequate. On Er'kit I found that this
witch robe straight from a Dathomiri horror flick lacked any protective power thanks to it being wrought out of tissue such as cotton or rayon and I sought to replace it ever since. But due to my species' morphology (I have rather big lekku), a helmet is not practical to me: for this very reason I cannot pilot unpressurized aircraft or spacecraft. What I'm asking for: a cuirass, breastplates and boots wrought in beskar, and the customary armorweave undergarment. I will provide the dyes for the armorweave myself, since I know what kind of dyes are colorfast on armorweave. However, I'm not sure as to how paints react to beskar; does it require special paints or armorweave dye is just fine?
Please forgive me, but I always feel compelled to talk about the deplorable condition of Mandalorian mental healthcare systems when I have to talk about my professional life, that is, my life as a
baar'ur. Let's put it this way: Clan Lok has complete control over Mandalore's mental healthcare system by virtue of me operating the only reputable therapist practice on Mandalore. As a result I am the one person holding Mandalore's mental healthcare system together. I understand that both Mandalorian capitals have horrible reputations in the world of mental healthcare to the point many if not most residents of each of the Mandalorian capitals go off-world for therapy, and sometimes outside Mandalorian space.
As a token of gratitude towards the Mandalorian Crusaders from Clan Lok, you, as Mand'alor of the Crusaders, are welcome to get free therapy from me on Mandalore for life, or its equivalent in credits. That is, you may wish to take up the free therapy
if you find the therapist on Echoy'la unsatisfactory, or if there isn't
any therapist on Echoy'la to begin with, as I do not believe there is more than one therapist on Echoy'la. Or perhaps you would like to learn about Force-alcohol so that you can brew your own tihaar?
P.S.: As there does not seem to be
any word for therapist in Mando'a, my beskar'gam will be called the
Turjilyi'r'gam (lit. Armor of the Witch) in Mando'a even though its name in Basic would be
Armor of the Therapist. As a therapist I know that no beskar'gam provides complete immunity to mental health conditions, but my day job is so central to my identity as a Mandalorian witch that I decided to name my beskar'gam after it.
