While nearly anyone can use the Corridors, frequent use will erode one's body, so those who rely on the Corridors, such as [[Organization XIII]], wear [[black coat]]s to protect themselves.<ref>'''''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''''', '''Maleficent''': "It was reckless to bring her here without at least using a vessel. Remember, relying too heavily on the dark powers could cost you your heart."</ref> Those without the coats can survive occasional exposure to the Corridors' darkness if their hearts are strong enough.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 26; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "The other way is to use a "corridor of darkness". These routes are like a loophole of sorts and not pathways that should rightfully be used. While only those known as beings of darkness and beings of between are able to create entries and exits, in rare cases even other kinds of beings such as the Beast and DiZ, who held strong sentiment or hatred in their hearts, have been able to open a path themselves. However, this means being near the darkness. Make frequent use of the pathways and the darkness will completely erode one's body. Sora and his friends have also used these pathways a handful of times, but you could consider that the effect of passing through a corridor of darkness is influenced by the strength of one's heart, and as such they have not used them to the degree of frequency that their hearts could have been stained by darkness. In which case, why hasn't erosion by darkness progressed in the heart-lacking Nobodies, King Mickey or Riku, despite them having used the pathways frequently? There is a secret relating to a feature they all share, explained in this very title."
