Inkweaver is a magic pen that was constructed by Axol and currently owned by Melony. It first appeared in SMG4: The Japan Trip where it became a central plot device for the second half of The Anime Arc, being pivotal in Francis' plan to create an island of living waifus for himself by kidnapping and siphoning the ink of dozens of Inklings to use as a means to power Inkweaver due to their ink being of the highest quality.

Following the death of Axol in SMG4: War Of The Fat Italians 2021, it has been passed over to Melony but has simply been left in her apartment for display only.

Abilities[]

Living Drawings[]

Whoever uses the pen can bring anything they draw, usually anime characters, to life. The more skilled the artist, the more powerful the creations they can make. Axol, being the most skilled with Inkweaver and artistry in general, is the only character shown to be able to wield it to its full potential. However, they tend to only last for a few minutes and are lacking in intelligence.

When Inkweaver uses Inkling ink, the characters become stronger, smarter and they last longer. However, they will still disappear after a set amount of time, unlike Saiko Bichitaru who can last indefinitely. (Due to the fact that she was created by Fishy Boopkins using a Magikoopa's Wand instead of Inkweaver). However, it is implied that they can last for an entire lifetime if the Inkweaver is fully charged, as Ultra Instinct Shaggy was created back in SMG4: Final Hours in 2019, and can still be seen flying around in space in SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special in 2021.

Despite being made of ink, the ink characters do not dissolve in water. As shown during SMG4: Mario and the Experiment, a Godzilla can attack anyone approaching Anime Island, however this could be contradicted by his colossal size.

As an ink pen, Inkweaver will only work so long as it has ink supplied to it. More powerful creations also seem to require a larger amount of ink to bring to life.

However, the Inkweaver needs professional use for its creations to be able to function properly. Poor drawing skills will mean the creations will die quick or not being able to function properly no matter what ink it came from.

It lost this ability due to being broken as revealed in SMG4: The Internet Graveyard, reducing it to a fighting staff.

The two pieces were found and put together in SMG4: If Mario Was In... Anime and it regained its ability.

Visions[]

While planning a way to restore Anime to the Mushroom Kingdom, Axol activates the Inkweaver's orb which shows a visual of Peach and her guards. He uses the orb's ability again a few moments later, revealing visions of his past at Inkopolis regarding as to why he made the pen in the first place.

Ink Boi Upgrade[]

As of "Meggy's Destiny", E. Gadd modified the Inkweaver so that it works like an Ink Boi, allowing Axol to swim through Inkling ink.

High Durability[]

The pen has been shown to be able to suffer enormous amounts abuse, which allows it to be used as a melee weapon. The tip of the pen, unfortunately, is not, and it snapped off after Axol fell from a high height with it. It's possible that it broke before falling, as during the flashback scene shattering sounds are heard.

Anime Seeker Upgrade[]

Frustrated at loosing his title as the number one anime artist, Axol installed a Gadd built anime seeking device into the staff of the Inkweaver which let it travel to anime worlds in search of the missing tip, dragging Mario along with it.

Trivia[]

  • The last time Axol got to used it before his death was in SMG4: The Day HE Arrived.
  • Although ownership of Inkweaver was passed over to Melony after Axol's death, she has never used it. The reason is unknown, being that she either doesn't know how to use it properly or chooses not to out of respect for her later lover. Or she just can’t bring herself to use it as it reminds her of him too much.
