Aero

Aero, Aerora, and Hot Breath magic are spells used by Sora, Donald, and other characters and enemies that utilize the element of Air.

By casting Aero, Aerora, or Aeroga in Kingdom Hearts, a barrier of wind surrounds Sora for a duration of Max MP+18 seconds. This wind barrier cuts the damage taken in half. Aerora and Aeroga have the added effect of damaging any enemies that touch the barrier. A barrier cast by Aeroga may deflect certain attacks, and is more protective from boss attacks. However, it is important to note that Ursula and the Ice Titan actually become stronger if Sora uses any form of Aero.

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Aero magic blows enemies away, and is short range offensive magic. It is similar to fire magic in Kingdom Hearts II.

Like Gravity, Aero was replaced by a different spell in Kingdom Hearts II, in this case, by Reflect.

Aero magic is classified as Defensive Magic.
