Surprises to upgrade an ability's effects are a thing you can get in the future (Milotic in MCM had Marvel Scale+, and Dragonair had Shed Skin+).  They generally won't change the ability's effects, though, only strengthen its existing ones.  If you want entirely new effects, that's gonna require some work since it's basically like changing your ability to a different one entirely.

I'll talk about surprises in more detail later in the campaign.

--------------------------

And yes, if anyone with access to multiple Abilities wants to use a different one today, now would be the time to state that you're changing it, before we get into an encounter.  Forgot to remind everyone about that at the start of the in-game day.

Great to see you take more pages from me, mate! And yeah, perfectly fair for XP costs to shoot through the roof if you want to essentially make a custom Ability for your PC!

Pyra's Ability today will be Intimidate, as even if Snarl and/or Ally Contest Moves would work to trigger her other Defiant Ability, I'm not quite ready to forgo what amounts to essentially a party wide + 1 Defense at this stage of the game. A + 2 STR from the Defiant Boost doesn't do very much if you only have Dice to do roughly 2 Actions, anyway. So yeah, consider Intimidate her permanent Ability until I say otherwise, Dragonstritke!
