1051 Nullmancer's Trump Card! (1)

Skullius' second mana core, the Nature-Bound Malleable Form Core, was quite unique. Back when Replicus first acquired it, by using [Unbound] on his mana, he had discovered that the core's Refinery did not have a fixed pattern, but was adaptable. It was constantly changing, reacting to its surroundings as best as it could.
