Questioner
Can cytonic people potentially use all the abilities from Defending Elysium?
Brandon Sanderson
Potentially, yes. So mindblades and things like that. Mostly, I'm kind of pushing people into specialties a little bit more, like I've done with something like Mistborn where you're generally better at one thing than another. So you may see some divisions of powers, but they're all capable of it.

In the past, you've mentioned how Skyward was originally intended to be part of the cosmere. Were cytonic abilities originally going to be an Invested Art, or were they developed after the creation of the cytoverse proper?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Slight correction, Skyward was not going to be part of the Cosmere. It was specifically Spensa who was going to be in the cosmere. The story she was going to be part of is still cosmere-relevant, and we will still see it, but we'll see the replacement for Spensa instead. The cytonic abilities were developed afterwards, as we see in Defending Elysium.
Questioner
Is Doomslug the cytonic hyperdrive?
Brandon Sanderson
That is a RAFO.
Questioner
Theoretically, could an AI develop cytonic powers or is it purely biological rather than consciousness.
Brandon Sanderson
It is possible that an AI could.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
Is Doomslug capable of using Hypertravel as well as taking matter with her?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
RAFO. Doomslug will be very important to the next book. She's very relevant to the events of the book coming out in December.
