Some advanced processors use cytonic technology to work much faster than normally possible.{{book ref|sky1|31}} This is most important to artificial intelligence's such as [[M-Bot]].{{book ref|sky1|55}} Using minature cytonic communicators, parts of AIs can pass signals between each other at speeds faster than light, which facilitates near-human intelligence and superhuman analytics ability. As a side effect, it makes those machines detectable by organic cytonics.{{book ref|sky2|18}} However, for some reason AIs anger [[delver]]s much more than other forms of cytonics and radio signals, leading to a ban on them in the present times.{{book ref|sky2|10}}

People with cytonic abilities are susceptible to having their vision overwritten by some process, technology or ability, replacing their normal sight with artificial images conjured up by the hologram creators. This is what causes [[Chaser]] to turn on his allies during the [[Battle of Alta]].{{book ref|Skyward|55}}{{book ref|Skyward|39}}
Cytonics are capable of creating illusions, making others see things that aren't really there. Those illusions can range from complex scenarios to simple audiovisual noise. They aren't really physically present; rather, they exist directly in people's minds. As such, two people travelling together can usually ascertain what is and isn't real.{{book ref|sky1|55}}{{book ref|sky2|43}}
 
Two species have been shown as capable of creating illusions. The [[varvax]] used them to make [[Chaser]] turn against his allies in the [[Battle of Alta]];{{book ref|sky1|55}} the [[delver]]s use them as a defense mechanism, creating various illusions in mazes as a way to confound and throw off people trying to reach the heart.{{book ref|sky2|25}} Though everyone is susceptible to illusions, people who themselves have cytonic abilities are far more affected.{{book ref|sky1|55}}{{book ref|sky2|43}}
