'''Wisdom Form''' is a [[Drive Form]] specializing in magical attacks which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. It uses [[Donald Duck]] and consumes three of [[Sora]]'s Drive Bars. It represents Sora's [[magic]]<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you utilizing your magic to its fullest flows into your mind."</ref> and is obtained along with the [[Monochrome]] [[Keyblade]] when Sora clears [[Timeless River]]. Its emblem is a blue flame.


Sora's Wisdom Form, unlike his [[Valor Form]], relies entirely on magic. This [[Drive Form]] is learned after Sora completes his adventure at the [[Timeless River]], and restores peace to [[Disney Castle]], also after hearing [[Merlin]] say, "Think wisely!" possibly inspiring the name. In order to obtain this form, Sora fuses with [[Donald Duck|Donald]]. While fighting in this form, Sora can use the ability called "Quick Run" to dash rapidly, which occasionally serves as an ability to dodge attacks or travel through areas quickly. In this form, Sora does not physically attack with the Keyblade, but instead shoots bullets of magic that home in on the enemy, making it very difficult for them to dodge. He does not walk either, but slides across the ground instead. Since Wisdom Form specializes in magical attacks, it is the weakest of Sora's Drive Forms in terms of attack power, but its spell casting should not be underestimated. Like [[Valor Form]], Wisdom Form consumes three Drive Bars.
==Design==
{{Main|Form:Sora}}
Wisdom Form turns Sora's clothing blue and black, with an emblem, resembling blue flames, on the ends of his pants and sleeves.<ref>In the original version of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Sora's sleeves erroneously bear [[Master Form]]'s emblem. This is corrected in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.</ref> Wisdom Form changes designs depending on the world he is in:
*In [[Timeless River]], Sora's appearance does not change. However, his HUD sprite gains a blue tint.
*In [[Halloween Town]], Sora's mask is changed into a {{ff|Blue Mage}}.
*In [[Christmas Town]]{{FMII}}, Sora's hat and the back of his shirt sport a blue flame.
*In [[Space Paranoids]], Sora's circuitry becomes a deep blue.


==Leveling Up==
Sora wields only one Keyblade in this form. While in Wisdom Form, specks of [[light]] float around Sora's legs. There is also a blue magical mist surrounding Sora's feet that turns into two light blue wisps, one rising from each foot, when Sora slides across landscape. Sora's ability to slide across the ground covers his entire body with him sliding across the ground on his back during some combos. The only time Sora actually stands is when he lands from a jump. These wisps circle Sora in a manner similar to a double helix when Sora is stationary.  
Upgrading Wisdom Form is slightly harder than [[Valor Form]], as Wisdom's level is upgraded by the destruction of a Heartless in order to gain experience. One Heartless defeated in Wisdom Form equals one experience point.


The best place to level up Wisdom Form is within the [[Timeless River#Windows to the Past|Windows to the Past]]. There are many Heartless within each room, and they are all fairly weak. As an added plus, you are very close to the world exit, allowing you to fully refill your Drive Gauge. While the Dark City sections of [[The World That Never Was]] may seem like a good alternative, the enemies there are at a higher level, and take too long to materialize. Using [[Magnega]] will destroy many Heartless at once, allowing you to focus on any stragglers.
Sora moves acrobatically in this form, spinning the Keyblade idly behind his back when not moving, and flipping around when shooting magic bullets. He also tosses the Keyblade into the air when he jumps, catching it when he reaches its height.
By leveling up the Wisdom Form, Sora will develop the ability [[Quick Run]], which allows him to move quickly over a short distance. Sora also gets MP Rage at level four Wisdom Form and MP Haste at level six.


It is recommended not to level up Wisdom Form in the residential area of [[Radiant Garden]], as groups of magic-resistant Heartless reside there.
==Mechanics==
Wisdom Form is a magic-oriented form that limits Sora to one Keyblade. In this form, Sora can execute quicker magic combos with stronger finishers. Instead of attacking directly with the Keyblade, Sora shoots rapid, ranged but weak projectiles from the tip of his Keyblade. In terms of mobility, Sora skids across the ground instead of walking and has a very low jump. However, it can also slide across long distances quickly.


==Abilities==
Wisdom Form gains [[experience]] for every [[Heartless]] defeated. Leveling up upgrades the form's [[Growth Ability]], [[Quick Run]], for both itself and Sora's standard form. The standard form is also granted the [[Auto Wisdom]], [[MP Rage]] and [[MP Haste]] [[abilities]] through [[level]] ups.

==Strategy==
{|width="100%" class="wikitable"
Wisdom Form is very proficient at magic, and is useful against enemies that are hard to defeat at close range, such as the [[Hot Rod]], or have [[defense]] against physical attacks, such as [[Large Bodies]]. While in Wisdom Form, Sora glides along the ground rather than running, and becomes able to perform commands while moving. His spell casting is sped up and all his magic finishers increase in power as well and gain new, enhanced properties. Always be mindful of [[Reflect]] for defense in place of [[Guard]], and be prepared to cast [[Cure]], as Donald is unable to help in this manner. The [[Fatal Crest]] should be equipped when using Wisdom Form in combat, as it boosts Magic, and its [[Berserk Charge]] allows Sora to continually fire Wisdom Shot while his MP is depleted. The form's unique "Shoot" command forms many viable strategies against the [[Mushroom XIII]], owing to the attack's range and rapid fire, but suffers from a naturally weaker damage output compared to other attacks. Make sure the party has [[Ether]]s and [[Elixir]]s to keep using stronger magic, along with MP Rage and MP Haste.

Since Wisdom Form levels by defeating Heartless, a good place to train it is the windows to the past in [[Timeless River]], a cycle of rooms filled with weak Heartless that allow Sora to go from room to room, quickly respawning the Heartless within, while also having easy access to the World Exit for refilling the [[Drive Gauge]] and a [[Save Point]] for refilling the [[MP Gauge]] from any of the rooms. Most Heartless here can be defeated in with minimal spell casting or a few Wisdom Shots, so the best Keyblade to equip is the [[Oathkeeper]] for its [[Form Boost]] ability. Another great place to train is the city portion of the [[World That Never Was]]. [[Shadow]]s appear in large numbers and are very weak, also there is a save point at the entrance of the Castle to exit the world to refill the Drive Gauge.


===Support===
When using Wisdom Form for proper combat, it is best to equip Keyblades with high Magic [[stats]], as all of Sora's attacks, including the basic Wisdom Shot, are magical in nature. Alternatively, Keyblades that boost Sora's Magic damage in one way or another, such as [[Bond of Flame]], [[Mysterious Abyss]], or [[Photon Debugger]], as well as Keyblades that benefit his MP like [[Circle of Life]], are useful as well.

==Notes and references==
'''Pros'''<br />
{{reflist}}
*Good enhancements in Magic casting.
*Actions can be executed while moving around.
*Long range attacks, bullets slightly home.
*Hard for enemies to hit while moving around.
*Spells can be cast extremely quickly.
*Has the greatest magic haste of any form.
*Magic shot flies straight through frontal defenses, such as those of [[Large Body|Large Bodies]].
*MAX Quick Run is the second fastest movement Sora currently has (the first being using Aerial Dodge LV3 and quickly following with Glide LV3.
 
'''Cons'''
*Hit and run tactics are needed when Sora is out of MP. Though with Wisdom's MP Hastega ability, this period is not overly long.
*Attacking is difficult when close up (midair, small enemies close to Sora, such as [[Rapid Thruster]]s).
*Wisdom is firmly planted on the ground; any form of attack will not help it stay in the air long.
*During Quick Run, Sora is vulnerable to attacks.
 
==Representation==
Donald combines with Sora to represent his magical capabilities, and his potential to use powers other than just his strength.
 
==Mirror Description==
In [[Yen Sid]]'s tower the mirror second to most right describes Wisdom Form as "An image of you utilizing your magic to its fullest flows into your mind."
 
==Appearance==
Wisdom Form turns Sora's clothing blue and black, with blue flames on his pants. The Wisdom Form is one of the two forms that wield one keyblade, the other one being [[Limit Form]], which is only available in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. In any world while in Wisdom Form, specks of light hover around Sora's legs. There is also a blue magical mist surrounding Sora's feet and turns into two light blue wisps, one rising from each foot, when Sora slides across of landscape. These wisps circle Sora in a manner similar to a double helix when Sora is stationary.
 
*'''[[Halloween Town]]:''' Sora's mask changes into one that arguably resembles a Black Mage from the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
*'''[[Christmas Town]]:''' A blue flame appears on Sora's santa hat and on the back of his shirt.
*'''[[Space Paranoids]]:''' Sora's circuit lines turn a darker shade of blue.
*'''[[Timeless River]]:''' Sora's health icon gets a light blue tint.
 
==Helpful Hints==
*As this form only levels when it defeats a Heartless, the best place to level it up is where there are many weak Heartless, close together. For example, the four scenes in Timeless River contain many Heartless that are weak to magic and can quickly be taken down with Thunder or Fire spells, in The World That Never Was there is an abundance of weak Shadows and Neoshadows where you can fight, The Great Maw next to the Crystal Fissure at Hollow Bastion and the door to Disney Castle can be used to immediately refill your Drive Gauge without having to go back to your Gummi Ship. Note to those who play ''Final Mix'': Shadows and Neoshadows are only available in the lower levels of The World That Never Was before saving clear data. Once clear data is saved, the enemies that appear in these areas are Nobodies, and so leveling up of Wisdom Form cannot be done in The World That Never Was.
*Alternatively, just as for [[Valor Form]], Wisdom Form can be leveled up by training in the [[Chasm of Challenges]] in [[Agrabah]]. The key is to defeat all Heartless within the time limit while in Wisdom Form. If your Drive Gauge is higher than 5, you may attempt the trials twice. Either way, once you are done, head to the nearby [[Save Point]], exit and re-enter the world using the same Save Point to replenish your Drive Gauge so that you may continue training.
*When releasing the Blizzard combo finish, it is better to be farther away from your opponent, as the shots begin homing after traveling some distance.
*Adding Ultima Weapon to Wisdom Form seems to only upgrade magic recovery to Hasteja, increasing it to two times (Haste, Hastera, Hastega, Hasteja). Circle of Life does something between 1.75 times and 2 times, and thus, would be a good alternative if you still do not have the Ultima Weapon.
* With its unending long range shots, quickness of casting magic (especially Reflega), and ability to dodge away at a high speed, Wisdom Form can be used to defeat some bosses cheaply.
* Also, you can level up quickly through Radiant Garden by starting at Merlin's House, and fighting to the start of the part, to the great maw. Make sure to stop by the restoration site because the nights give easy exp! If your gauge stays at max most of the time, you should be able to rack up at least 70-80 kills.
* A good place to level up this form is [[Space Paranoids]], on the solar sailer
 
==Gallery==

==Trivia==
*The official artwork shows Sora's sleeves with blue flames, but in-game the sleeves have the same design as the [[Master Form]]'s. This seems to be a mistake, as Square-Enix changed the sleeves in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' back to the original blue flames.
*Sora moves acrobatically in this form, spinning the Keyblade idly behind his back when not moving, and flipping around when shooting magic bullets. He also tosses the Keyblade into the air when he jumps, catching it when he reaches his height.
*Along with [[Limit Form]], this is the only form without [[Synch Blade]] (excluding Anti-Form, in which you don't get any Keyblades).
*The only time Sora actually stands is when he lands from a jump.
*In this form, Sora's ability to slide across the ground covers his entire body, with him sliding across the ground on his back during some combos.
*Wisdom Form is the only form with only one combo finisher.

This form lets Sora specialize in magic and glide quickly along the ground.

Wisdom Form is a Drive Form specializing in magical attacks which appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It uses Donald Duck and consumes three of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's magic[1] and is obtained along with the Monochrome Keyblade when Sora clears Timeless River. Its emblem is a blue flame.

Design[edit]

Main article: Form:Sora

Wisdom Form turns Sora's clothing blue and black, with an emblem, resembling blue flames, on the ends of his pants and sleeves.[2] Wisdom Form changes designs depending on the world he is in:

Sora wields only one Keyblade in this form. While in Wisdom Form, specks of light float around Sora's legs. There is also a blue magical mist surrounding Sora's feet that turns into two light blue wisps, one rising from each foot, when Sora slides across landscape. Sora's ability to slide across the ground covers his entire body with him sliding across the ground on his back during some combos. The only time Sora actually stands is when he lands from a jump. These wisps circle Sora in a manner similar to a double helix when Sora is stationary.

Sora moves acrobatically in this form, spinning the Keyblade idly behind his back when not moving, and flipping around when shooting magic bullets. He also tosses the Keyblade into the air when he jumps, catching it when he reaches its height.

Mechanics[edit]

Wisdom Form is a magic-oriented form that limits Sora to one Keyblade. In this form, Sora can execute quicker magic combos with stronger finishers. Instead of attacking directly with the Keyblade, Sora shoots rapid, ranged but weak projectiles from the tip of his Keyblade. In terms of mobility, Sora skids across the ground instead of walking and has a very low jump. However, it can also slide across long distances quickly.

Wisdom Form gains experience for every Heartless defeated. Leveling up upgrades the form's Growth Ability, Quick Run, for both itself and Sora's standard form. The standard form is also granted the Auto Wisdom, MP Rage and MP Haste abilities through level ups.

Strategy[edit]

Wisdom Form is very proficient at magic, and is useful against enemies that are hard to defeat at close range, such as the Hot Rod, or have defense against physical attacks, such as Large Bodies. While in Wisdom Form, Sora glides along the ground rather than running, and becomes able to perform commands while moving. His spell casting is sped up and all his magic finishers increase in power as well and gain new, enhanced properties. Always be mindful of Reflect for defense in place of Guard, and be prepared to cast Cure, as Donald is unable to help in this manner. The Fatal Crest should be equipped when using Wisdom Form in combat, as it boosts Magic, and its Berserk Charge allows Sora to continually fire Wisdom Shot while his MP is depleted. The form's unique "Shoot" command forms many viable strategies against the Mushroom XIII, owing to the attack's range and rapid fire, but suffers from a naturally weaker damage output compared to other attacks. Make sure the party has Ethers and Elixirs to keep using stronger magic, along with MP Rage and MP Haste.

Since Wisdom Form levels by defeating Heartless, a good place to train it is the windows to the past in Timeless River, a cycle of rooms filled with weak Heartless that allow Sora to go from room to room, quickly respawning the Heartless within, while also having easy access to the World Exit for refilling the Drive Gauge and a Save Point for refilling the MP Gauge from any of the rooms. Most Heartless here can be defeated in with minimal spell casting or a few Wisdom Shots, so the best Keyblade to equip is the Oathkeeper for its Form Boost ability. Another great place to train is the city portion of the World That Never Was. Shadows appear in large numbers and are very weak, also there is a save point at the entrance of the Castle to exit the world to refill the Drive Gauge.

When using Wisdom Form for proper combat, it is best to equip Keyblades with high Magic stats, as all of Sora's attacks, including the basic Wisdom Shot, are magical in nature. Alternatively, Keyblades that boost Sora's Magic damage in one way or another, such as Bond of Flame, Mysterious Abyss, or Photon Debugger, as well as Keyblades that benefit his MP like Circle of Life, are useful as well.
