Flat - This is caused by Gravity magic and is inflicted on enemies, while it inflicts damage and gathers the enemies together for a certain amount of time the enemy is immune to attacks. This is represented highly in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

Enemy Effects
Confusion - Confusion is causes by Sora or sometimes the enemy in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to have reversed controls, making it more difficult to move and avoid attacks.

Poison - Mainly caused by Mushroom Heartless; causes the player to take damage at an increasing rate even while moving away from the enemy.

Positive Effects
Air Shield - Caused by the Aero spell, this effect will shield a player for a set amount of time. Some enemies will cast this, and party members can cast this as well. This only appears in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. However, Xaldin can use a similar ability in Kingdom Hearts II.
