A Thirst for Knowledge.

If an inkling spends 24 hours with a spellbook or a spell scroll, it can learn the magic of one 2nd level or lower spell, erasing and absorbing all the ink and magic used to inscribe the spell. The inkling can then cast the spell once per day.

Amorphous.

The inkling can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Innate Spellcasting.

The inkling's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring only somatic components: At will: fire bolt, mending, minor illusion, prestidigitation 1/day each: color spray, detect magic, magic missile
