Capabilities
Users are glaringly, obviously, and super/unnaturally more intelligent than other beings in their universe because their mental capabilities and applications are pushed beyond the natural level; making them immensely smarter than regular beings (in that verse). The minimum intelligence required to possess supernatural intelligence is unfixed and as humans get better at genetic engineering/implanted artificial intelligence the minimum intelligence of the species increases. However, the minimum intelligence considered supernatural would always be equal to/above the maximum level of intelligence considered enhanced.

- May draw damaging amounts of energy/calories/sustenance from the body, causing various physical problems.
