Well, it is kinda cool. But it's not cool like 'big flashy show of magic' or taking out large amounts of enemies via magic and teleport spam like Nightcrawler or something. That's just a different level of cool. Now, what he did would be cooler if he could use his Keyblade on the Glider. Or just a melee weapon in general, but he forgot to pack one along.

By the way, I do recognize that Thomas does cool thing, I'm just being in character, to clear up any confusion
