As the party explores the vast library they come across a chest settled down on a table down a narrow hall of bookcases stacking to the ceiling. As you all approach the table you begin to see the books around you start to tremble and darkness starts to creep out of the books as the ink separates itself from the pages. The ink gathers quickly, forming a thin tall featureless black humanoid creature.

Ink Form The golem can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. It can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Innate Spellcasting The golem is an 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 12, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The golem has the following wizard spells prepared:
Cantrips (at will): minor illusion, chill touch, dancing lights
1st level (4 slots): detect magic, magic missile, shield, thunderwave
2nd level (3 slots): acid arrow, detect thoughts, invisibility, mirror image
3rd level (2 slots): fear, counterspell, dispel magic, major image
Immutable Form The golem is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Magic Resistance The golem has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons The golem's weapon attacks are magical.
Actions
Multiattack. The golem makes two slam attacks.
Slam Melee Weapon Attack:
+7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Whelm (Recharge 4-6) Each creature in the golem's space must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If it is Large or smaller, it is also grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and unable to breathe. If the saving throw is successful, the target is pushed out of the golem's space.
The golem can grapple one Large creature or up to two Medium or smaller creatures at one time. At the start of each of the golem's turns, each target grappled by it takes 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. A creature within 5 feet of the golem can pull a creature or object out of it by taking an action to make a DC 14 Strength check and succeeding.
Not sure what it's cr would be. Or if there is any other good ideas for this type of creature. Basicly mixed water elemental with constructs and gave it casting.
