Nice work
it may be the layer type inthe masking process of the core that is generating the dark spots near the trap.
I'd mask it in a layer and try different types of blends (just scrolling down) with preview turned on.
Often it either normal, overlay, soft or Hard light that work best for me.
I also try to blend at less than 100% fill/opacity to see how that affects it
hope this helps
cheers
