Cytonics encompass a number of abilities powered by the living mind. Some of them can be augmented by electronics, and through this shared to populations that don't possess them.{{book ref|elysium}} In humans, use of cytonics is signified by increased activity in the section of the brain called the '''Writellum'''.{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} Only a small percentage of the total human populace possesses the capacity for cytonics, although this number is far higher among alien races. Some, like [[varvax]] and [[tenasi]], are implied to all have the ability.{{book ref|elysium}} It is possible for AI to develop the ability.{{wob ref|13386}}
In order to utilize cytonics, the user needs to meditate, focusing on the impression of moving upwards and letting the world around them fade away.{{book ref|sky1|1}} While a beginner needs several moments to enter the appropriate mental state, an experienced user of cytonics can do so instantly, allowing them to actively use the ability in combat.{{book ref|elysium}} The focus allows the cytonics to utilize the [[nowhere]], a timeless emptiness outside of normal reality. Nowhere figures heavily in several, if not all cytonic abilities, most notably teleportation and FTL communication.{{book ref|sky1|55}} It's also home of the [[delver]]s, making using it highly dangerous.{{book ref|sky1|54}}
