InkLoids (Ink-Loids)

What are InkLoids?

InkLoids are animated ink “people” brought to life by Art Magic. They're animated to help people write! Mages are the most common owners of InkLoids, but other professions use them just as much when they can.   InkLoids are intelligent, and they can follow basic orders. They're not good at fighting, but they can jot down spells and keep track of spell materials for you. You can name your InkLoid, and it will come by its name.   Being nice to your InkLoid is a must! If you're nice to it, it will be nice to you! Being mean could result in missing spell pages and inks-soaked robes! They do not eat but have been caught sleeping. InkLoids like to soak in fresh ink, so you might find them chilling in a bowl of ink every so often.   They use their hands and feet; you will catch them glowing as they jot down notes. Some InkLoids like to dance as well, so when there are many notes to take down, they will often dance on the papers.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

InkLoids are made by enchanting a vile of ink using Ink-Sorcery. Each InkLoid is made differently and takes ten-hours to make. The bigger the InkLoid the longer it will take to make.

Manufacturing process

  1. Set up your ink! For this example, we will be using 2 ink jars. Open both of the jars and pour them into the glass bowl. Make sure you don't spill anything! You will need all the ink to complete this spell. If you want to use colored ink, you can but it must be done during this step. 
  2. Let the ink sit in the bowl for thirty minutes. During this time make sure you have your brush ready you have to mix right away. 
  3. After mixing, soak the brush in ink and start the spell. "emoc-evila-eb-htiw-ew" and repeat this at least ten times. 
  4. If you did this right you will have an InkLoid!

I love the idea of inkloids. For some reason I get the picture of Maui’s tattoos dancing from Moana.
