Question about the new power gained

[Ventuskeyblade]

So Master Yen Sid said that by unlocking the seven keyholes of sleep, Sora and Riku would gain a new power. The power is the ability to awaken a sleeping heart. I have two questions. First off, did Sora gain this new power or not? We know Riku did but I wasn't sure about Sora because of the Orginization tricking him and whatnot. Secondly, is this power what they will use to awaken Ven? I assumed this when I first found out what the power was.

Both acquired the power since both of them opened seven Keyholes of sleep.

This power can be used in conjunction with the research data from Ansem the Wise (which right now is kept safe by Riku) to reconnect and wake any lost heart connected to Sora.
This way, they can not only save Ventus, but also Aqua, Terra, Naminé, Ansem the Wise, Xion and Roxas.

In fact exactly those seven who called Sora's name in Blank Points.
