Another thing that we require, @Stratego (dev), is levelable via researches abilities/spells.

So after you researched some tech it just changes stats of spell (damage, buff/debuff gain, power and length of buff/debuff, area effect, cooldown, range...) without changing ability or giving more abilities.

For example for blade dancer i and alex want levelable whirl attack ability that will automatically increase damage it deals after tou research fencing mastery tech by +1 damage per each level. From 4 damage to surroundings up to 7 damage to surroundings.
For now only way to implement this is to give blade dancer 3 more similar abilities with different damage values which would be locked and unlockable after researching fencing mastery techs.

possible

also there is another workaround:
making a lv1 dancer unit, and an upgrade a lv2 dancer and so on.
and lv2 has different ability that is stronger

For blade dancer variant alright. But what about for example dwarf warrior unit (basic one)?
He is intended to have 2 more tiers at base, runes and ability to throw axe that must be affected by melee weapons upgrades + by tiers. So if follow this logic as you suggest for blade dancer than for each possible combination of 1-4 melee weapon upgrades and 1-3 tiers we need different unit with different ability.

In total 12 units:
Tier 1 lvl 1, lvl 2, lvl 3, lvl 4
Tier 2 lvl 1, lvl 2, lvl 3, lvl 4
Tier 3 lvl 1, lvl 2, lvl 3, lvl 4

So it is better to actually implement this.

sure, i mentioned only as workaround for sword dancer.

it needs implementation if we want to make such things.

It is definitely needed

We might, at least, make abilities influenced from existing statts (e.g. a skill that use an equations that has a unit's power inside of it)
