The disgusting pits of darkness were new Heartless form, grow and begin to develop their dark powers before setting out into the Universe and claiming hearts to fuel thier power and make more Heartless.

The pits seem to be protected by larger heartless who will smash at anything that shouldnt belong there, like a Nobody or a Keyblade User without the power of Darkness.

Quote:
Dark Magic is learned in Levels and certain spells require a number of skill levels in another spell before you can learn it, and some spells have bonuses for maxing out their levels. Each spell has 5 Levels

You can counter magic spells by defending with the same or similar ability that requires you to pay the cost as a defense and then subtract your magical skill from the power of their attack

You cannot Energy Counter if they have 5 Levels in the spell over the spell youre trying to counter with.
