A Forma is a portable, one-use self-programming nanofoundry which uses nanotechnology in advance of that used by the Liset's normal foundry to fundamentally modify items or construct entire spaces. They were probably used by the Orokin quite often, being something like a multitool or building block - they contain the considerable nanotechnological prowess of the Orokin but in a small package relevant to a human scale. While the Orokin probably had much larger nanofoundries a single Forma could be carried anywhere and do potentially anything with a minimum of user effort, in a way, the ultimate technology, a kind of philosopher's stone.
