I am new to blender so I am trying to learn the basics so bear with me while I try to explain this. I am trying to extrude a face to a single point to make a spikey-looking shape and I only seem to be able to extrude the face outwards keeping the face the same size but I actually want the face to extrude to a point or vertex.

          you can extrude the faces and then scale them, you can change your pivot point to individual origin so that you scale the faces individually.
