I like the theme of your champion a lot and I can picture the abilities looking awesome. What I don't get, though, is how you would combine abilities. They still seem a little loose to me.

My concern with this champ is clarity. Since the launch of Season IV, Riot has been aiming towards champion clarity. This champion needs to show some clarity in the build. Like when a summoner chooses the Q ability, that automatically spawns 3 floating books that circles Kathrin like Syndra's dark spheres. This allows enemy champs to know that Kathrin has her Q up and ready. For Kathrin's (W) ability, maybe have a glowing book to notify which book she is using. For example, if she is using Ancient Vol. II then a glowing white book is floating by her. If it is the Ancient Vol. III then it will be a glowing purple book instead. Here are some possible problems with numbers as well for late game:

I will put numbers down for 2 scenarios: a Kathrin with 650 AP and one with 1000 AP

Kathrin - (650 AP) Q - Transcription *max level = 55 + (40% AP) Magic Damage per missile: 55 + (260) = 315/missile *Lets assume the average level 18 enemy champ has about 2,000 health...that means a bonus (160 magic damage for the 8% max health) Overall Skill Damage = 315(x3) + 160 = 1105 magic damage

W - Ancient Volume II & Ancient Volume III Ancient Volume II *max level = 85 + (50% AP) Magic Damage every 2 basic attacks: 85 + (325) Overall Skill Damage = 85 + (325) = 410 magic damage every other basic attack

           Ancient Volume III *max level = 155 + (50% AP)
           Magic Damage every 4 basic attacks: 155 + (325)
           Overall Skill Damage = 155 + (325) = 480 magic damage every 4th basic attack

E - Tome of Grief *max level = 230 + (40% AP) Overall Skill Damage = 230 + (260) = 490 magic damage

R - Grimorie Archive *max level = 125 + (50% AP) **This is a bit tricky because enemies have to be in range but lets assume they are within range for the full duration of the ultimate (3 seconds) Magic Damage per second = 125 + (325) = 450 magic damage Overall Skill Damage = 450(x3) = 1350 magic damage over (3) seconds

So lets assume that everything is right and Kathrin manage to apply her full rotation on an enemy champ with about 2000 health and they also resist 33% of all magic damage. Here is the final result: Q - 1105 Magic Damage Q - 1105 Magic Damage W - 410 Magic Damage (Ancient Volume II) W - 480 Magic Damage (Ancient Volume III) E - 490 Magic Damage E - 490 Magic Damage R - 1350 Magic Damage R - 1350 Magic Damage Raw Overall: 3355 Magic Damage Raw Overall: 3425 Magic Damage Total with Magic Resist: 2238 Magic Damage Total with Magic Resist: 2308 Magic Damage

For the second scenario (Kathrin with 1000 AP) I crunched the numbers as well and these are the numbers for the same situation, an enemy champ with 33% magic resist and 2000 health: Q - 1525 Magic Damage Q - 1525 Magic Damage W - 585 Magic Damage (Ancient Volume II) W - 655 Magic Damage (Ancient Volume III) E - 630 Magic Damage E - 630 Magic Damage R - 1875 Magic Damage R - 1875 Magic Damage Raw Overall: 4615 Magic Damage Raw Overall: 4685 Magic Damage Total with Magic Resist: 3079 Magic Damage Total with Magic Resist: 3149 Magic Damage

From these numbers, Kathrin can easily solo anyone in the game whether they are Magic Resist tanks or not. It is true that she has long cooldowns compared to other mages, but her W passive dishes out a constant magic-empowered hit (if you are using Ancient Volume II) that can clean up everyone else.
