What I'm saying is that necrophia is the stuff that controls chaos, trellanstone is the name of the rock that it is in. Therefore, even though the trellanstone is as large as a boulder, it might not have as much necrophia as is in the orb, thereby decreasing the power of the new stone relative to the orb.
