Midway through the game, you’ll acquire the Soul Sigil, which unlocks the ability to use souped-up skills. In the early game, you’ll have enough trouble finding the MP to use your few skills, and unless playing on Draconian Quest difficulty, you’ll have little reason to bother using them. Once you reach the midgame, however, your resources expand, both in the number of skills you have access to and the MP to use them. This is a good thing, as enemies become increasingly more ferocious to the point where aptly using skills becomes a necessity even on Dragon Quest difficulty.

During the quest to craft the Magic Key, you’ll be tasked with finding Wakerobin and Glimmergrass. After you acquire them in the Field of Flowers, you’ll automatically receive some seeds. Return to the Faerie Village, and you’ll unlock your first Sigil, courtesy of the Craft-Master: the Soul Sigil (Dragon Quest I). This passively increases your maximum HP, but even more importantly, it allows you to upgrade normal skills into souped-up variants under certain conditions.

Under certain conditions, like having less than 50% of your maximum HP or being under the effect of Reheal or Focus Pocus, you’ll be able to use souped-up skills. What conditions allow you to trigger these souped-up skills? Well, mostly being under 50% HP. Without either experimentation, luck, or completing the game, that might be the only way you figure out how to trigger souped-up skills, which is rather unfortunate, as you’re probably going to want to heal at that point to stay safe, which naturally prevents you from exploiting souped-up skills.

Fortunately, there are more ways to trigger souped-up skills, and even more fortuitously, they’re less risky to trigger. You can use some souped-up skills when under the effects of the Reheal spell or the Focus Pocus (Dragon Quest I) ability. To use a souped-up skill, select a spell or ability that can be souped-up and hold down the button in the menu, and a green pattern will appear under the named spell, activating the souped-up version if you persist. You can also select the spell or ability normally and just hold the button during the combat round to soup-up the skill on the fly!
