Inside the armor of Tenebris, Rowan observed his consciousness merging, like tiny drops of water returning to a growing sea.
Every shard of the First Supreme Circle that he touched acted as a magnet that pieced together his fragmented consciousness. This process was not automatic since recognizing the shards was just the first step, to merge them required understanding.
What this meant was simple in theory but nearly impossible for anyone to succeed at, without a ridiculous amount of time spent in learning, because every shard was a technique that should take the user to the 9th Supreme Circle.
He decided to call these shards of the Supreme Circle, False Supreme Circles.
Rowan had to not only recognize these shards, but he had to completely understand the technique to such a profound level that it should take him to the 9th Supreme Circle.
