The Endless Vault Meditation Art had countless mysteries associated with it. The difficulty of its practice meant this technique was not even meant for a Mage or a being that existed in the material universe.
Andar could be argued to be a creature quite like this— A being who was not meant for the material universe.
Rowan had remade his body into something that was not mortal and not Empyrean, he had created something that was entirely new, and just maybe with his experiments he had ended up creating something wonderful, but for now, it was unknown what the limits of Andar's potential were.
Rowan was unique, and he had transferred part of what made him unique when he created Andar.
Rowan after all was still very young even though he was already ridiculously powerful, and for a Creator like Rowan, he needed experience and countless experiments before he could even begin to comprehend what his creations were capable of achieving.
The power that Rowan was controlling was not something a mortal could comprehend, as it was powers even beyond the gods and Archmages, and so it could be quite understandable when he did not know the true scope of his creation.
Andar could be said to be one of Rowan's first designs, and during the process of his creation, Rowan had not held back. He had created Andar's body when he was in slumber and he needed an Avatar that was powerful enough to achieve his objectives.
Rowan had succeeded, far more than he expected.

Andar had not been able to piece together all the Scripts for the 100th level when he was inside the Endless Vault, but it did not mean he could not memorize the Scripts.
With his growing experience, he had been able to understand the portion of the scripts that he could not understand, and it did not take long for him to fit it all together, and the 100th Tile that was created inside his Spirit Matrix was black like the endless void.
He felt a wave of energy being generated around his Spirit Matrix, but he decisively dispersed it, for if he allowed that energy to grow it would lead to his Ascension and he would become a Rank 1 Mage.
Anyone else would have eagerly leaped at this opportunity to become a Mage, but Andar knew it would be a mistake to Ascend when he had not yet unearthed all his potential at the Acolyte level.
His Spirit Matrix revolved once inside his Mental Space and a new wave of subtle understanding flowed into his mind about the new Black Tile, that could be called his one hundredth Engraving Slot, or as Andar was getting to call it—Engraving Tile.
The first 99 White Tiles in Andar's Spirit Matrix gave his physique the ability to store an endless amount of information. This new Black Tile did the opposite!
