I see your point here. But you see, jungle clearing is but the smallest part of jungler role as Skarner. Say you are level 5, donated your second blue and you start clearing jungle secont time. With Philo on board you can easily clear your remaining jungle with mana and regen Skarner has. And regen some mana for the gank while on your way there. So what is the big deal with that? You use up your small mana pool, you regen it while roaming, you deplete it again.

Yes, i manage to get low on mana even with my first blue. Your point, as i see it, is that between his level 4 to level ~9, if one does not recall to platform, Skarner is in danger to get low on mana.... My point is that in real life situations as jungler I hardly run out or mana early game. Not that I dont get below 50%, but I'm never oom. And since you will be backing for boots, gold items, you restore your mana there. After that you get your sheen and like level 9. With increasing base mana pool and regen you still manage to waste your spells that pointlessly?

That period you might be mensioning as blue-dependant is really short in usual gamesfor Skarner. It goes by so fast that I almost never even notice it. That is why I call Skarner not being blue dependant. For your first-blue-stolen consideration I give you: Nautilus, Norcturne, probably Jax and few more. Skarner is so blue independant compared to some junglers, that my eyes now even hurt from this wall of text.
