Unlike other humanoid Nobodies, Naminé's talents do not lie in battle, but in the ability to control memories, making her a "witch". The ability comes from the fact that she is formed from Sora's soul and body, rather than Kairi's. Because of this connection, Naminé can move around the "links" of his memories that are located within his heart to her liking, as well as the ones of those who are connected to Sora. She can even sever them completely, turning the victim into little more than an empty shell, such as the Riku Replica when he threatened to defeat Sora. In addition, she can create objects affected by the new memories, evidenced by turning a card into a good luck charm for the Riku Replica and altering the appearance of Kairi's [[Wayfinder|Lucky Charm]] to resemble that of a [[paopu fruit]]. | Unlike other humanoid Nobodies, Naminé's talents do not lie in battle, but in the ability to control memories, making her a "witch".

She can also cover up Sora's memory of Kairi with her own image, but as she is Kairi's Nobody, it is impossible for Naminé to completely snuff out Kairi from anyone's memories, as shown when he regained a small memory of her even though he could not recall her name. Conversely, those with the greatest connections to Sora cannot ever completely forget him, as evidenced by Kairi, who still slightly remembered Sora, but not his name, his face, or the sound of his voice, while all other denizens of the Destiny Islands (along with all the people in other worlds) had completely forgotten about Sora's existence. Riku also appears to retain both his recognition of Sora and the majority of his memories of him, likely due to the strength of their own bond.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''''', '''Riku:''' "The reason the Organization tampered with Sora's memory wasn't to slow him down; it was to make it harder to put back together."</ref><ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''DiZ:''' "Now... what about you?

Naminé's power can also allow her to lock away the darkness in hearts by removing all memory of it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Naminé:''' "It's not your memories. It's your darkness. In your heart there is darkness, and in that darkness is Ansem. He may be at bay for now—but eventually he'll wake, and he will take over you just like he did before.

An additional limitation is that Naminé is unable to restore memories that are real if they have been tainted by fake memories she created. Due to rewriting Sora's memory in Castle Oblivion, Naminé was unable to restore the memories of his actual experience there; thus Sora's memory abruptly ends right as he got to the castle.<ref>'''''{{c|Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories}}''''', '''Naminé''': "First I will have to undo the links I made.

While not directly stated, Naminé's powers do not affect those who only know of Sora and are not close to him; Xemnas<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Roxas:''' "Who is Sora?" / '''Xemnas:''' "The connection.
