Abilities (KH)

Abilities are special skills that can be learned through the use of AP. They teach Sora and his allies various Spells, special attacks, and other useful strengths. They also appear in Kingdom Hearts II. Sleights are similar in nature, and appear in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

Sora's Abilities
See Sora/Abilities for when Sora learns these abilities either through leveling up or events.

Special Abilities
Special abilities, as the name suggests, are special abilities not learnt by conventional means, but through storyline bosses and special conditions. Unlike normal abilities, special abilities require MP to execute, and all of them are capable of connecting into a series of combos. Later, in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Sora can execute these abilities again through Limit Form
