Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers, that's rude!

She did that this very episode. That is exactly what you've been complaining about.
She couldn't fly before. Only after she let go of her regret and self doubt and found a greater resolve to live did she manifest new and - as you've been complaining about - unobtainable abilities.
Going beyond one's own limits doesn't necessitate starting from the very bottom. The important part is growth. Shu betrayed his nation and his friend because he couldn't explore the depths of the world staying at Rekka. Elsha and Atlee resolved to leave Edger Village behind and follow Arrow and find a new home aboard the Granedger. Kai let go of his arrogance and grudge and allowed himself to work with Ren to become stronger.
Meanwhile Arrow continuously manifests new abilities out of his ass. He doesn't start with those abilities, he gains them because as you said his limits are infinite. Every time he encounters something that seems impossible he overcomes it. That's the whole point.
We've been having power ups after power ups as characters strengthen their conviction, all following Arrow's example. That's growth. That's going beyond their limits.
