User blog comment:Omega natsu2/...One Year Has Gone By/@comment-25111584-20150127063943

All fantasy and all pretty much mundane:
 * 1) Gray has perma IDSM and has developed some awesome techniques. Secret Arts and whatnot. Spent a lot of time in the Magical Library and training by himself. Although no Demon Force yet, he knows that his father learned his IDSM from Hyoma Rei, and there was more to the deal than meets the eye. He is researching about that.
 * 2) Wendy is just her cute old self ... but tonnes more badass. Can fly by herself, use spells like the one Ren used to lower oxygen ... just that she has complete control. Full DF. She has been training under one of the Gods of Ishgal, whom Porlyusica introduced her to.
 * 3) Mirajane has all 72 forms, all sexier than the last. \(^_^)/
 * 4) Doranbolt helped the King of Fiore set up the new Magic Council. He is not a leading member, but stays in the shadows and makes sure that things function smoothly. His teleportation abilities have been enhanced.
 * 5) Laxus has unlocked the full potential of his lacrima and can actually transform into a Dragon and back into a Human at will.
 * 6) Thunder God Tribe has become stronger. Freed has got over his obsession. ( ._.)
 * 7) Lisanna, Levy, Juvia and Lucy form a freelance Mage team and make quite a name for themselves. They all have trained a lot too. Lisanna is much stronger, Levy can keep her head in battle and can write her Spells instantaneously, just by thinking about them. Juvia can control an entire waterfall. With Aquarius gone, Lucy finally uses her Spirits tactically instead of always searching around for water to summon Aquarius. She can summon three Spirits at a time and is researching Urano Metria to create new, faster Spells, though they might be weaker.
 * 8) Natsu is stronger, full DF control.
 * 9) Gajeel is stronger, full DF control. And what Reli said below.
 * 10) Heck, all DS have full DF control.
 * 11) Jellal and Erza are dead. They got caught in a plague. \(^_^)/ Midnight is now the leaderof CrimeS and Meredy keeps them on the proper track.
 * 12) Makarov has apparently passed away. But the truth is that he has sealed himself to protect LH. <- Not sure about this one. >.>
 * 13) Cana can use basic Requip to summon her Cards. Obviously stronger too.
 * 14) Romeo has got over his obsession with Natsu and finally thinks for himself. Stronger is a given. Heck, everybody's stronger. >.>
 * 15) Macao and Wakaba keep the Guild building running somehow. With the help of others like Max, Warren, etc. Max has been learning from Jura, who likes to come to Fairy Tail for the great beer brewed by Millgana. Warren's telepathic abilities have been enhanced. Kinana is learning Poison Magic, Laki has given up the life of a Mage and has become an artist, helping keep the Guild afloat. Vijeeter has opened his Dance School while Nab helps Totomaru. Only Macao knows about Makarov.
 * 16) Gildarts is still not back. He's so far away that he doesn't know about the Guild's dissolution.
