If Circe was a Mage, then her body would make her equal to Mira in potential.
Yet a Dominator was not a Mage and using their bodies to channel energy was inefficient since most of their abilities were innate and not acquired like a Mage who would have to study the act of spellcraft and depend on their Meditation Art for special abilities.
Each of the power systems had its advantages and disadvantages, but in the earlier stages, Rowan felt that Dominators were more powerful, in the latter stages, the Mages were better in terms of potential and the sheer scale of the abilities and energies that they were able to control.
Circe had an incredible heart for a Dominator before it was taken from her, but Rowan's definition of incredible would be impossible for others to grasp and would be seen as madness to even consider.
Rowan did not care for the thoughts of most, he was already used to such heights of inconceivable greatness that the so-called incredible heart of Circe was simply mediocre.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo create a heart that he would be satisfied with, he began reviewing all the creatures he had encountered so far, and he had encountered many, but his selection would have to pass through a very stringent process.
Rowan did not want to start his designs from scratch so he shamelessly pulled inspiration from every application of power involving a body organ he had come across. He was amazed by how much he was enjoying this activity and delved deeper into his memories and body.
Inside him were unknown trillions of creatures of various sizes and shapes, and some of them, especially creatures from the Mountain and Sea Realm had very interesting bodily features that made him smile in appreciation.
Rowan had to remind himself about his goals or he would go crazy and make Circe a hybrid of a Dragon, Kraken, and a Phoenix. His fingers were itching to create something new and unprecedented.
He wanted to upgrade Circe, but he wanted her to remain a Dominator fully, anything else would destabilize his plans.
Circe was a Breaker and if his father was responsible for the creation of the so-called Breakers, then he must have done it by imitating the Spirit Bodies of Mages. This gave Rowan more options to upgrade her constitution and then there was no reason for him not to take it further with this advantage, he was after all a Creator.
With his connection to Rico, Rowan had been able to collect the blueprint for Circe's previous heart and was amazed by the structure that he found, but he still found it to be crude, he believed his father could have done better work, but he most likely wanted strong servants that he could easily manage, and not truly powerful warriors that should not be able to rebel against him, and as he had recently realized draw attention to his activities inside the universe.
The Primordial Record had a feature that hid him from the gaze of the powerful, but he did not think his father also had the same capabilities to hide as he did. Every time Rowan had been found was either through accident or his ignorance.
Previously Rowan would have thought that his father was afraid of being overtaken by his creation, but with his Ascension to Will he saw that such a concern was not the full reason, the man must be afraid of calling too much attention to himself by producing something that was too powerful.
Rowan would also like to believe that he might be reading too much into this and his father might just be a poor Creator, and he was now better than him.
There were also reasons for Rowan to believe that he might be superior in terms of Creation because when Andar was sent to the Isle of Rest and the Archmage which Rowan was sure was a Tower Master had observed the body of Andar, she had said that such a unique Creation could either be made by an Old One or was a direct miracle from the Universe.
This was high praise coming from a Tower Master, a being that should be very ancient and must have seen a large portion of the multiverse. If his creation could rank so high in her sight, then his talents as a Creator must be far greater than he was assigning credit to.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRowan knew that Old Ones were referring to truly powerful beings, most likely these were beings that controlled powers at the 7th Dimensional Level and above. His father was a Reflection of a Primordial Being, but that did not mean he had the same capabilities as his real body.
The evidence for this was that Rowan Reflection had no control over his bloodline, it could not control his Ouroboros Serpents or his Angels, it was simply a perfect vessel to channel his intent.
The Reflection could not even carry all his memories, but it could perfectly copy his Aura, and there would be no way to differentiate between Rowan and his Reflection if they stood side by side.
Using this inference then Rowan would not be surprised if the work of his father which might seem amazing to others would fall short when he began to take it apart, his Title as a Creator was not just for show, and his father must be creating his subjects by experience alone and had no ability as a creator.
If this turned out to be the truth, then Rowan might have just come across a significant advantage over his father, and the plans that he wanted Circe to be part of began to solidify more closely in his consciousness. To truly win against his father he must use his advantages and exploit the weakness of this Reflection.
He slowly began to review the work of his father's hands.
The heart of Circe could channel an impressive amount of energy that she would be unable to fully take advantage of until she became a god. This was astonishing because it meant that if Circe had her own heart then the limits to her powers even as a mortal reached the divine realm, and the only constraint holding her back from unleashing powers that were similar to that of a god was the availability of energy and her control over it.
