by Vitenka:

Probably ought to be optional; for those times where you really really just want a 1/1 flyer. Except, hmm, you still need a spell to target. Proper wording is likely fiddly.

by Alex:

No, this works fine. Just like Spellstutter Sprite did. You can cast Tivadar of Thorn even if there are no Goblins on the field; this is no different.

Edit: Oh wait, this triggers when you cast it? Um, yeah, that's fiddly because it will try to counter itself, so I agree, "you may" would be sensible. Unless it's meant to be a drawback mechanic.

by Summer:

Didn't think of that. Thanks!

by dude1818:

"114.4. A spell or ability on the stack is an illegal target for itself." Most people don't realize that (obviously), so leave it optional anyway.

by Link:

Unfortunately, that rule doesn't apply here. This is a triggered ability. So, you cast Inquisitive Sprite, then its ability triggers as a separate object fully capable of targeting your Sprite. Making it optional is a wonderful idea.
