The phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" would refer to someone who is consistently adequate. The term "polymath" implies someone who has reached a high level in many areas of knowledge or skill.

What about someone who is indeed a master of some?

Does this answer your question? What would you call someone interested in many things? See: Renaissance man/woman – DjinTonic Jul 11 '23 at 20:50
Why would there be a word for this? This is just a normal person. – Barmar Jul 11 '23 at 20:53

This question would be helped by specifying why master or specialist don't fit. It's hard for me to see much daylight between master (of one?) and master (of two or more things but not many things). – TaliesinMerlin Jul 11 '23 at 20:55
