Abilities 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. They also appear in Kingdom Hearts II. Sleights are similar in nature, and appear in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.

Ally abilities, unlike Sora's, act on A.I controls and therefore may result slight uncontrollable gameplay. Aside from that, there are also some ability exclusives to allies, meaning only certain ally from different worlds have access to this ability. Several other allies have fixed abilities the moment they join you, and all their EXP will be invested in status growths.

Special abilities, as the name suggests, are special abilities not learnt by conventional means, but through storyline bosses and special conditions. Unlike normal abilities, special abilities require MP to execute, and all of them are capable of connecting into a series of combos. Later, in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Sora can execute these abilities again through Limit Form

Shared abilities are supportive abilities enhancing movement related actions. Unlike normal abilities, they require no AP to equip, and once they are equipped, Sora, Donald and Goofy will have the abilities) selected equipped as well.
