#did he study earth magic as preperation for norting terra?

It's possible I'm reaching a bit here but I find it interesting that, in their boss fights in bbs, Xehanort manipulates the rock and dirt of the graveyard, while Vanitas utilizes the actual keyblades left behind. For one, it's foreshadowing for the characters they're about to fuse with: Xehanort using earth, Vanitas doing a sort of jetstream aerial attack, the preferred element of Terra and Ventus respectively. But also, they're literally each using half of the world against out heroes. Vanitas is the Keyblade, and Xehanort is the Graveyard.

#and on top of that knowing the symbolism Xehanort has with graveyards #while ventus and by extension vanitas are some of the only living soldiers of the keyblade war #I just keep circling back to the blatant disrespect xehanort shows the graveyard #literally disturbing the final resting place of the fallen to try and bring about the thing they dies forstalling #though I do always wonder why he can throw around rocks #did he study earth magic as preperation for norting terra? #now I'm solidly overthinking it
