Core

A core

A core is one of the two things that the blood maidens are searching for in each area. Destroying an areas core/cores will make it unable to grow (story wise. Growth releases still work, so gameplay is not affected) and this also makes the other areas grow faster. It also makes the area's Nightmare vulnerable, as the core seems to be what heals them. The main purpose of the cores, or at least the ones at the top of a jail's tower, is to inseminate a female core to make a witchcraft core. The cores have the capability of mimicry, as seen when several characters are mimicked in Mary Skelter 2 and also when Mary can create clothing and a marchen friend, in Finale. A core seems to be able to use tentacles to grab dead marchens and the like to feed on, as seen during the ascent of the Jail tower, in Mary Skelter: Nightmares.
They sound like a beating heart, when you're close to it.
