remember how i told you about ezio fighting people in basements while shirtless? yeah

THERE IS SNEAKY SCI-FI everywhere, all in the DNA and crap and everything! Basically, anything built by the first civilization reacts differently to those who have dna similar to Those Who Came Before, aka hybrids like ezio or des or altair! so like, anyone can use the Apple, but if you want to use it to kill people with INSANITY you have to be a hybrid. sometimes, the tech will 'talk' to them, or at least let them see knowledge without it driving them crazy immediately, but it is still p overwhelming in large doses! When Ezio uses the apple A LOT, it pretty much demolishes his health bar and his knees give out. I think it interferes with the human aspects of their brain, and so the more First Civilization you have in you, the better you are at handling it.

The same goes for illusions/mind control! Mind control doesn't work at all, but illusions do, only the hybrids know there are illusions-- like "feeling" something being wrong-- and then their eagle vision allows them to see what is "true." Here, I'll copypaste what I wrote in Sakura's old permissions post:

Ezio has human/First Civilization hybrid DNA, which means that, unlike normal humans, neural interference does not affect his natural understanding/comprehension/awareness/etc of his surroundings, but his nerves are still susceptible to external influence. For example, he would be able to feel the sensation of say, being poked with a stick, but he would know he isn't actually being poked with a stick. Potentially maddening, don't you think? His Eagle Vision would also negate any visual illusions, since he can simply search for something 'real' and it will turn gold for him.

There are I think 50 pieces, but two were destroyed... Ezio's is the Sixth Apple, which is about illusions and mind control, but the 15th century papal staff had the ability to manipulate things kinetically when used in conjunction with the Apple.
