Inkscribe
This world is filled with beauty and wonder. Recreating that in some measure is a relentless, tireless journey that can often become obsessive.
This ink that I use however is different. It is alive. It has needs. Desires. Cravings. Through me, it can see the world and experience it. Through the ink, I can reshape the world.
It is a darker world that I envision and with my brush, I'll paint this world as I see fit.

History
During the Third Age on the Plane of Asnocad, the previous form of the Xhimelech Elves had discovered a living, viscous fluid that seemed to possess an intelligence of its own. It could escape from containers, permanently stain things black and even crawl uphill. It was used for a variety of minor things on Asnocad but more often than not was seen as a novelty.
When the Selenehelion occurred and brought forth the Reunion which merged their ethereal forms with their lost physical forms, other things on the world experienced transformations. One of which was the ink-like fluid, now seemingly sentient and driven with purpose. Though the Reunion caused chaos, the now malevolent living ink wasn't able to cause any substantial harm, but it had clearly become something more than a novelty.
The years after the Reunion saw a substantial period of inner strife and turmoil for the Xhimelech Elves as they once again found themselves with physical forms. It is unknown what caused them to attempt to control the living ink, but in doing so found a new capability of expression, though at a seemingly great cost. The living ink now left stains beyond its physical existence, staining the soul of the artist attempting to use it.
