Bah, how did I miss this? Maybe you already figured it out but...

As of 2.20 a lot of skillsets got updated (if you finished part 2, the LoC lobby has a manual that goes into more detail). For Artificial skills, certain stats increase by 33% depending on what skill you use. Artificial skills that feed off the Attack stat like Heat Smash and Drill Arts put you in "physical mode", increasing Attack and Defense. Artificial skils that feed off the Magic stat like Pulse Field and Magnetic Storm put in you "magical mode", increasing Magic and Willpower. Finally, skills like Vocaloid Rape, Ice Missile, and Power Replenishment put in you "quick mode", increasing Dexterity and Agility.

They're basically status effects that last for 4 turns unless you use another Artificial skill that overwrites it.
