{{image|Inkspren by ms-marz.jpg|side=left|width=300px}}
Inkspren are humanoid, and their form does not change when entering the [[Physical Realm]]. They have angular features, more reminiscent of an unfinished statue than a real person.{{book ref|sa3|47}} In both the Physical Realm and [[Shadesmar]], they are entirely black, as if made of shadows, and have marble-like skin with a prismatic quality as though it has been coated in a thin layer of oil.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} In Shadesmar, their skin shimmers and gleams in a variety of colors depending on how the light hits it.{{book ref|sa3|102}}▼
=== Physical Realm ===
In the [[Physical Realm]], inkspren look exactly like their cognitive form, but are able to change their size.{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Inkspren.jpg|text=Shallan's Sketchbook - Inkspren}}
=== Cognitive Realm ===
They wear stiff, fashionable clothing that matches their shade and texture; the clothing is part of their essence.{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa3|102}} They sometimes carry weapons like swords.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}▼

== Abilities ==▼
Unlike other sapient spren, inkspren cannot shape-shift or make themselves invisible to humans while in the Physical Realm; they are, however, capable of drastically changing their size. They can become as large as a person and as small as a speck of dust, letting them move about unseen if they so wish.{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Inkspren.jpg|text=Shallan's Sketchbook - Inkspren}}{{book ref|sa3|47}}{{book ref|sa3|53}} They are also capable of blending into shadows.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa2|3}}▼
=== Nahel bond ===
Inkspren are one of the spren types capable of forming [[Nahel bond]]s with humans. The bond makes a person a [[Surgebinder]], and grants the powers of [[Transformation]] and [[Transportation]].{{file ref| TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg | Surgebinding Table}}▼
== Culture ==
It's uncertain if inkspren have their own nation in Shadesmar, although they are very common in cities like [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}
