These recipes would allow alchemists or blacksmiths to create items also used only by the engineers for creating their special designs.

Ink is also a defensive weapon used by some sea creatures, like the octopus.[1]
Another use of ink is by scribes, authors, novelists, etc to write their material. Some people use the ink from octopi for their writing.[2]
