While a creature has the inkdrop grabbed or pinned, it can destroy the inkdrop by smudging the inkdrop out with an Interact action.

Blinding Ink

Ink Blot◆

The inkdrop leaves a pattern it remembers over a square foot of surface. If there's existing non-magical ink on the surface, the inkdrop erases the nonmagical ink.

Not all handcrafts are intended for war. The inkdrop is an infiltrator used by spellcasters to learn secrets or alter documents. Embodied in a single fist-sized drop of ink, the inkdrop can glide across a page, changing characters or removing them altogether, with devastating consequences for statecraft.
