Heya ponies!
We all have a character that we want to see go on grand adventure, become famous and powerful and eventually have go down in history as one of the great heroes of the land.
However, as you all know, most characters start off on a normal level. So how do we make them stronger?
Well, it differs by species and the skill/attribute you want to increase.
Combat oriented ponies might find it in their best interest to join the army, as the training itself available is of higher standards as well as the opprotunities to improve.
For combat oriented ponies, the best way to improve is gaining combat experience. Such is gained for every battle your character participates in. More experienced ponies are hardier, they know to better handle the chaos of combat and naturally, injuries as well. Joining a quest or looking for training are good ways to advance your combat skills.
For military characters there will occasionally be battle events occuring, these are very risky, but also very rewarding. The chaos of a major battle does not allow for individual posting, and it is nearly impossible to emerge without injury and sometimes even death. However, the advancement of your combat skills will be substantial, this will affect constitution, dexterity, strength and actual combat prowess. Not to mention it will advance the goals of your kingdom.
For Magical oriented ponies the best way to get about improving your powers is studying, practicing and training your spells, very similarly to what Twilight does. Spells work by channeling magical energy through a spell formula. The act of channeling and studying a formula may seem natural and easy but the more complicated the spell is, the more complicated the formula is. The formulas themselves are difficult to memorize and in order to successfully channel the spell it takes a lot of practice when learning a new spell. New spells can go awry, can be less powerful or fail or be generally weaker. So it's best to practice a new spell a lot before trying to use it in a tight spot.
Special Talent development -
For Ponies:
A pony's special talent can be developed, while they have a natural affinity to it, there is always room for improvement and perfection of the skill. Exceptional improvements, abilities and successes in regards to the skill can even cause the pony's cutie mark to upgrade. This can also happen when gaining a specialized ability (I.E. All shield walls due to their intense training course gain a shield background to their cutie mark when they finish)
