Magic functions a little differently in KH2 from how it did during Sora’s first journey. In addition to being able to use magic in his normal form, Sora can also use it in three of his four new forms (Wisdom, Master, and Final). Each of the six spells Sora can learn are detailed below as well as the details of how the spell’s effect changes based on which form Sora is in. In addition, the effect of each spell, their MP Cost, and location for each of their upgrades is also provided.
