[A FEW MOMENT BEFORE THE AWAKENING OF ANDAR ERIKSON]
Rowan had learned a lot about Mages from the information his Angels gathered in the Empire and those now on the battlefield. If his main body was not slumbering then he would have gathered more detailed information from Covenant, but what he had now was enough.
Especially information about their passage to power which all began from their Spirit Matrix.
Every child born under the influence of the Supreme World of Mages had the potential to awaken their Spirit Matrix. This was not related to any bloodline they may have but it was an intrinsic quality that was a part of the people who were conquered or wished to stay under the umbrella of a Supreme World.
All these reminded Rowan about his World Seeds, and its ability to change the inhabitants into a form closer to himself. It would appear that such powers were granted also to the great powers of the Supreme World.
Perhaps the bloodline system of Dominators was created by mimicking the abilities of Mages and Demons or maybe something else. Now that he knew that the roots of the Empire were controlled in secret by his father, who knew how the Pathway of Dominion came to be. If it could stand toe to toe with the same power system from two Supreme Worlds, then it meant it was not simple.
Rowan focused on this new type of ability he had never come in contact with before, his eagerness was apparent.
The Spirit Matrix was a unique power that had its advantages and disadvantages, and he did not know which he preferred more, the bloodline system of the gods or the Spirit Matrix of Mages.
Nevertheless, Rowan felt he needed to understand the Spirit Matrix System more deeply to conclude which was better, in that light if his main body awoken he would begin studying the Demon power system.
Rowan just realized that he was using the power system of Dominators as an Empyrean, but would it be possible to also cultivate the Mages and Demons' power system? That thought almost made him frightened. If his main body could gain access to a Spirit Matrix, what sort of horror would he become?
These were all pointless speculations anyway, it was also one of his long-term goals. Rowan filed it away and entered into his body.
In the region of the Spirit where Dominators develop a Mental Space, a Mage could awaken their Spirit Matrix. For the former, they would need to be at the Rift State to unlock their Mental Space but Mages took this path as their first step.
It did not make a Mage superior to a Dominator at the start, they were far weaker because, unlike gifted Dominators with deep bloodlines that could be born at the Incarnation State or even above, every Mage would have to start from scratch, no matter how gifted they were.
