A '''chalkling''' is a two-dimensional being made of chalk.{{book ref|Rithmatist|1}}
== Lines of Making ==
[[Rithmatics|Rithmatist]]s are able to create chalklings by drawing Lines of Making.{{book ref|Rithmatist|23}} More detailed and beautiful chalklings are stronger than more simplistic ones.
=== Glyphs ===
There
;Go: An arrow pointing in the
;Attack: An "X" shape.
;Wait: A horizontal line
;Turn: An acute angle with an arrow pointing in the direction of the turn.{{ref|name=instructingchalklings}}
;Defend: A diamond shape, it instructs bound chalklings to patrol the area around the bindpoint they are tethered to and attack any chalkling not bound to the same circle as it.{{ref|name=bindingchalklings}}
;Glyph of Rending: Allows a chalkling to interact with objects not made of chalk.{{book ref|Rithmatist|8}} This glyph is not taught until the Rithmatist arrives in Nebrask for their final year of training. While this glyph can be dangerous (by allowing chalklings to attack people), it can also be used for more productive means. Chalklings with the Glyph of Rending can be used to provide free energy; Rithmatists are frequently employed by [[Springrail]] companies to use chalklings to wind the large spools of springs used to power the Springrails (an arrangement that is quite profitable for the Rithmatists).{{book ref|Rithmatist|13}}

== Wild Chalklings ==
The origin of
When wild chalklings come across a human, they will attack him or her aggressively, leaving only a mangled corpse behind.{{book ref|Rithmatist|10}}
As of the events of [[The Rithmatist]], wild chalklings are confined to the [[Tower of Nebrask]]{{book ref|Rithmatist|6}}, where they are led by creatures known as the [[Forgotten]].{{book ref|Rithmatist|24}}
The [[Scribbler]] was able to turn captured Rithmatists into wild chalkings. These particular chalklings reform when destroyed by chalk or acid.{{book ref|Rithmatist|23}} After [[Joel]], [[Melody]], and [[Fitch|Professor Fitch]] defeated the Scribbler, the victims are restored.{{book ref|Rithmatist|24}}
