The words "manyfold" and "manifold" look very similar, and have related meanings:

"Manyfold" means "by many times" or "many times over".

"Manifold" means (among several other meanings[1]) "multiple" or "numerous".

So you could have manifold (i.e multiple) practice sessions, to increase your skill level manyfold (i.e. many times over) - but not the other way around.

[1] The most interesting other meanings are the mathematical one, the engineering one, and the comic book one.
