For tamed monsters, at their 3rd awakening level, they start to learn their specializations instead of their normal skills. Ember learned basic skills like [Tackle], [Polymorph], [Clone], and such from her basic and 1st awakening levels. Although she didn't manage to study her new skills at the 2nd level, she managed to develop her new element at the 3rd level instead. However, she had yet to have a specific specialization.
Specialization is a process where a beast or monster chooses a path to pursue. Even before getting transferred to me, Fang already specialized in sneak attacks and assassination. As soon as she evolved to the 3rd awakening level, she automatically underwent her specialization as an assassin.
Her skills relating to those actions are therefore enhanced, while those that aren't are weakened. Ember hasn't formed her specialization yet, so her skills are basically below what a 3rd awakening level should be able to do.
