Development Abilities (発展アビリティ) are special abilities that have a chance of appearing every rank up starting from Level 2.

Information[]

Development abilities are different from basic abilities in the sense that they are characteristics specializing in a certain area. Starting from Level 2, there is a chance of gaining one every rank up. There is also the chance of one not appearing at rank up, or multiple appearing to choose from. Bell's Luck, Ais' Swordsman, Abnormal Resistance, and Hunter are examples of choosing from multiple development abilities.

Development abilities are extremely valuable due to the substantial improvements they grant to their users' abilities. For example, even if two people created potions using the same ingredients and following the same preparation method, the one with Mixing would create ones of much better quality. Some, like Mage, are even capable of raising the stats of their users beyond their actual level; a Level 2 mage has a magic stat comparable to a Level 3 non-mage's.

Like basic abilities, development abilities are also categorized from I to S; however, they are much harder to train and do not reset to I at each new rank up. Development abilities can improve during a normal status update, though they can also do so when their user ranks up.
