[[File:Ability Screen KH.png|thumb|300px|Sora's Abilities screen in ''Kingdom Hearts''.]]
Abilies are special skills that can be learned through the use of AP.  They teach Sora and his allies various Spells, special attacks, and other useful strengths.  [[Sleights]] are similiar in nature, and appear in [[Kingdom Hearts:  Chain of Memories]]. They also appear in [[Kingdom Hearts II]].
In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', '''abilities''' are a type of skill that is equipped by allotting [[Ability Points]] (AP). These skills can either be active techniques which can be performed at the character's discretion, or passive upgrades which are always active and enhance the various stats or qualities of the character. While many Abilities are used by more than one character, each character has a unique set which reflects their role in combat.


While there is no explicit division between abilities, the "Sort" function in the Abilities menu groups them into three main categories. Combat abilities directly affect the skills the user uses in battle. For [[Sora]], these abilities provide defensive and evasive actions and affect his weapon attack combos; for other party members, they provide unique techniques that cost [[MP]] to use, which may be classified as "Special attacks", "Support skills", or "Defense skills". Support abilities are passive skills that provide miscellaneous supporting effects for the user, such as boosting MP recovery or item drop rates. Sora also has access to special abilities, offensive skills that consume MP. These special abilities return in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' as Limit abilities accessible to [[Limit Form]].
== Abilities==

Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn most abilities through leveling up, and others by completing certain objectives, such as defeating a boss or completing a mini-game. Sora learns his special abilities by defeating bosses. Other party members possess all of their abilities by default. The party-wide Shared abilities are learned through plot events.
'''Scan'''<br>

Sword learnt at LV15<br>
Staff learnt at LV9<br>

While Sora's combat abilities and special attacks are controlled directly by the player, party members' combat abilities are controlled by their individual AIs. The frequency at which they use their combat abilities can be selected outside of battle from the "Customize" menu.

Description: A combo finisher where Sora leaps and delivers a downward slash.<br>
