'''Burn ink''' is a flammable ink used on [[Roshar]] during the [[Era of Solitude]].{{book ref|sa1|69}}
== Properties and Characteristics ==
Burn ink's most important characteristic is its flammability.{{book ref|sa1|69}} It is designed to burn while either wet or dry, no matter the surface it is painted on. This allows for its use in [[glyphward]]s, which are prayers to the [[Almighty]] that are burned. The ink itself is blood red in color.
== History ==
After Highprince [[Dalinar Kholin]] was betrayed by Highprince [[Torol Sadeas]] at the [[Battle of the Tower]], Brightlady [[Navani Kholin]] made use of burn ink to craft a glyphward for Dalinar and [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa1|69}} She used four pots of burn ink to paint a ''thath'' glyph on the ground, which she burned in a prayer for justice.
