♔ The Keyblade and Light & Darkness ♔
"The Keyblade. A truly marvelous weapon...were it only in more capable hands." - Xemnas
Sora is a Keyblade Bearer. Keyblades are weapons that are used primarily to fight Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed (monsters within the game that will be expanded upon later). Despite the name, Keyblades don't always look like keys, but in some base forms, they are known to. It can be as literal as an actual key or as abstract as wanted, but it usually has a motif. Keyblades unlock the Heart within Heartless, which gets rid of Heartless for good (otherwise they respawn constantly). They also, however, beckon the Heartless to the Keyblade Bearer and can prove disastrous if the wielder is not strong enough to bear through constant battle.
A Keyblade can lock and unlock pretty much everything, but are mostly used, besides fighting Heartless, to keep the balance of Light and Darkness. To this end, they're used in-game to lock the Hearts of Worlds so Heartless can't take them over.
The Keyblade that is most commonly used and will be referenced in-game is Ultima Weapon, KH2-Version. If that changes, links will be supplied.
For a full list of all the Keyblades Sora has obtained, refer here.
"I know now, without a doubt, that Kingdom Hearts--is Light!" - Sora
Light is the opposite of Darkness; in Kingdom Hearts, although Light is emphasized as the "good" quality, it's important to realize that Keyblade Bearers and Masters are supposed to serve the worlds in balancing the two forces. It's worth noting, also, that Darkness is not inherently evil: it's the people who use it to an evil end that are the true villains, not Darkness itself.
There are three realms in the series: the Realm of Light is one of them, and the one Sora moves about in. Sora, although he has inklings of Darkness, is mostly filled with Light. Although he doesn't have a lot of attacks to do with Light, his Nobody and Replica (Roxas and Xion respectively) do, so it's implied Sora can attack with the same fervour they can, but does not.
"Maybe the Darkness has gotten to me, too." - Sora
Darkness is the opposite of Light; in Kingdom Hearts, Darkness is emphasized to be the "evil" quality, even though there is a strict balance to be maintained. Dark is Not Evil, Light is Not Good. This can be seen most clearly in Riku post-KH1, Sora's best friend, who learns after being burned by the Darkness and losing his body, that he can still wield the Darkness--but he can't let it wield him.
Of the three realms in the series, there is a Realm of Darkness to contrast with the Realm of Light. Riku is known to move around them in several games, but Sora has only visited once, when he and Riku were stranded after their battle with Xemnas.
Sora has a "penalty" form where all the Darkness he's accumulated during his travels comes out, hinting that despite the smiles he beams, the work of a Keyblade Bearer is taking a toll on him. This form is called Anti-Form and comes out in-game when he is most exhausted or desperate.
♔ Drive Forms ♔
Sora has a hidden storage of power--they show up in his second journey, exclusively. They are called Drive Forms.
There are four of them, caused by merging with a party member; Valor (Goofy), Wisdom (Donald), Master (Donald and Goofy) and Final (Roxas).
→ Valor is achieved when Goofy merges with Sora's power, so he acquires two Keyblades, and becomes especially filled with strength. His clothes change to sport red, white and black. He dual-wields Ultima Weapon and Fenrir in this form.
→ Wisdom appears when Donald merges with Sora's power--which makes him shoot magic and skate around on air, as Donald is the mage. His clothes change to sport blue, white and black. He can only wield Ultima Weapon in this form, shooting out pellets of magic that damage foes.
→ Master is achieved once both Donald and Goofy merge into his power--his strength and magic skyrockets in tandem, but aren't as high as the specialized one-power forms. His clothes change to sport yellow, white and black. He dual wields Ultima Weapon and Sleeping Lion in this form.
→ Final, however, is a very special case--Sora harnesses Roxas' power inside of him, and floats as he fights. His clothes change to silver, white and black, and both of the Keyblades he wields are crossed on his back, air used to manuver them. He dual wields Ultima Weapon and Two Become One in this form.
→ One underestimated, "penalty" form, is called Antiform. Sora takes on the appearance of a feral Heartless, moving on hands and feet. He runs faster and can jump higher in this form, but he cannot hold the Keyblade, so he instead uses his claws as a weapon. He is the personification of the Darkness festering in Sora's heart after he's been through so much.
