-Entering a Drive Form immediately refills Sora's HP and MP Gauges, but more visibly, it gives his outfit a style bearing the color and symbols of that Form, while replacing his normal Action and Growth abilities with a new list of Action, Growth, and Support abilities, while retaining his equipped Support abilities. These changes can go so far as to grant dual [[Keyblade]] wielding or variations of Sora's [[Magic]] spells. Each Form can gain experience and levels up in a unique way while the Form is active, independent of other Forms and Sora's own experience level, and every Form excluding AntiForm can reach Level 7. In addition, every Form has an associated Growth ability that grows as the form does, and, with the exception of AntiForm, upgrading the Form's Growth ability allows Sora to use that ability in his Standard Form, albeit at a lower level.
+Entering a Drive Form immediately refills Sora's HP and MP Gauges, but more visibly, it gives his outfit a style bearing the color and symbols of that Form, while replacing his normal Action and Growth abilities with a new list of Action, Growth, and Support abilities, while retaining his equipped Support abilities. These changes can go so far as to grant dual [[Keyblade]] wielding or variations of Sora's [[Magic]] spells. Excluding AntiForm, each Form can gain unique experience through a specific method while the Form is active. The maximum level for each Form starts at 3 when Valor Form is obtained, then rises by 1 with each new Form unlocked until Final Form, where the maximum is raised to 7 across the board. In addition, every Form has an associated Growth ability that grows as the form does, and, with the exception of AntiForm, upgrading the Form's Growth ability allows Sora to use that ability in his Standard Form, albeit at a lower level.
-Prior to collecting the Final Form however, there is a limit to how far Drive Forms can be leveled up, since this feature is also dependant on how many Drive Forms Sora has, a mechanic that is also used with the Summons level-up feature as well. In the beginning with Valor Form, Level 3 is the limit, which is raised to Level 4 after obtaining Wisdom Form, and then to Level 5 after obtaining Master Form. In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', due to the inclusion of Limit Form which took that spot, obtaining Master Form now raises the limit to Level 6.
 If Sora is in any Drive Form besides AntiForm when a cutscene begins, he will appear in the cutscene in that Drive Form. The cutscene will be otherwise unchanged, and Sora will handle his main-handed Keyblade as he normally would, regardless of whether the form grants dual-wielding or not. The only exception is if Sora completes the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] in Limit Form in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', since in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Sora was incapable of using any Drive Forms at that point, and Limit Form is a ''Final Mix''-exclusive. If Sora mounts a [[skateboard]] while in a Drive Form, he will not revert to his normal form even when the gauge is depleted. While the Drive Gauge is being depleted, Sora can return to any non-combat area, such as the [[World Map]] or a room where the party characters are present, which will cause the Drive Gauge to refill. This is especially useful for leveling the Forms and Summons.
