Wisdom Form

Wisdom Form (ウィズダムフォーム) is a Drive Form which appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It uses Donald Duck and consumes three of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's magic and is obtained when Sora clears Timeless River.

Mechanics
Wisdom Form is unlocked after completing Timeless River and is activated normally. Wisdom Form gains experience for every Heartless defeated and greatly strengthens Sora's magical ability.

Appearance
Wisdom Form turns Sora's clothing blue and black, with blue flames on his pants and sleeves. Sora wields only one Keyblade in this form. While in Wisdom Form, specks of light float around Sora's legs. There is also a blue magical mist surrounding Sora's feet that turns into two light blue wisps, one rising from each foot when Sora slides across landscape. Sora's ability to slide across the ground covers his entire body with him sliding across the ground on his back during some combos. The only time Sora actually stands is when he lands from a jump. These wisps circle Sora in a manner similar to a double helix when Sora is stationary. Sora moves acrobatically in this form, spinning the Keyblade idly behind his back when not moving, and flipping around when shooting magic bullets. He also tosses the Keyblade into the air when he jumps, catching it when he reaches his height.

The official artwork shows Sora's sleeves with blue flames, but in-game the sleeves have the same design as the Master Form's. Square-Enix changed the sleeves in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix back to the original blue flames.


 * Timeless River: Sora's health icon gets a light blue tint.
 * Halloween Town: Sora's mask changes into one that resembles a Black Mage from the Final Fantasy series.
 * Christmas Town: A blue flame appears on Sora's santa hat and on the back of his shirt.
 * Space Paranoids: Sora's circuit lines turn a darker shade of blue.

Strategy
Wisdom Form is very proficient at magic, and is useful against enemies that are hard to defeat at close range, such as the Hot Rod. While in Wisdom Form, Sora glides along the ground rather than running, and becomes able to perform commands while moving. His casting is sped up and all his magic finishers increase in power as well. The player should always be prepared to cast Cure, as Donald is unable to help in this manner. Since Wisdom Form levels by defeating Heartless, it is best to avoid using it while fighting Nobodies and Pirates. The player should try to defeat enemies as fast as possible by mixing up standard attacks with magic. Setting Goofy's behavior to "Relentless Attack" can help in this way. The best Keyblades for training Wisdom Form are the Oathkeeper, Bond of Flame, Ultima Weapon, and Fatal Crest, as these have high magic stats and helpful abilities. One of the best places to train is Hollow Bastion, as it has plenty of Heartless and numerous save points. The Shadows in The World That Never Was are also good fodder, as they appear almost indefinitely and are easy to defeat.
