Max-Level Skills, Starting with Ghost Blows Out the Light

In Ghost Blows Out the Light, my skill is hammer techniques at max level. One blow is enough for the black-haired ones, two for the white-haired ones, and usually one hit is all it takes to beat someone. It feels like he still owes me half a health bar. But actually landing a hit is a little difficult. The main problem is that the footwork needed to go with it is so hard to master. In The Southern Archives, my skill changes to object manipulation at max level, letting me play with thousand-catty stone lions like they're balloons. But object manipulation takes so much stamina that I have no choice but to spend much of my time exercising. Every time I travel to a new world, I get one ability at max level. But if I want to use those abilities, I still have to put in the work.
