Based on this post here. Basically, Zexion and Donald have similar stats in 358 Days. HOWEVER, Donald’s magic stat is ONE point stronger than Zexion’s.
“Just admit it! I’m the better wizard,” his insufferable rival
squawked, proudly puffing up his feathers and patting the head of his mage’s
staff. Littering the ground around them were the charred and battered remains
of eleven training dummies. The duck had managed to score the last hit and thus
had beaten him by one point. Again.
“For the moment,” Ienzo replied, a frustrated scowl marring his
usual mask of indifference as he snapped the lexicon shut with more force than
was necessary. He let the weapon vanish before crossing his arms over his chest
and narrowing his eyes. “But I will surpass you, even if I have to spend
the next three weeks studying every magic-related text in the library and
practicing every known casting technique. So go ahead and gloat while you can.”
Three weeks later, Ienzo fought the overwhelming urge to bash
his head against his desk. Repeatedly.
“So I heard the duck showed you up again,” Lea casually remarked,
leaning on the bookshelf in the corner of the study. “That’s too bad. And you didn’t even get a
consolation prize? You deserve a gold star for effort, in my opinion.”
Ienzo shot Lea a dour look before addressing the third occupant
in the room. “Aeleus, would you kindly escort Lea out the door?”
Said redhead gestured innocently. “Hey, I’m just trying to
lighten the mood a little. So what if a talking duck is more
skilled at magic than you? At least you’ve got him beat in the height
department, right? Congratulations, you’re no longer the
shortest one in the castle!”
“…On second thought,
Aeleus, the third story window to your left should be just as effective.”

Author’s note: ((This post by the wonderful @exploringcastleoblivion floated across my dash earlier and–SURPRISE–managed to break through my writers block. You guys know how weak I am for the Even/Ienzo father/son dynamic. I couldn’t just pass up an opportunity to wring a little more angst out of that…))
Assorted Xaldin/Dilan headcanons because I never see anything for him
>Dilan always had extra hair ties on him. It’s like an easter egg discovery. No one knows about it, but the people who do find out about it have an endless supply in case they need one.
>He’s the designated cook in the castle. This is because he’s one of the few members who actually know how to cook. When he was a somebody, he would always meal prep and make meals in advance because the long shifts would drain him. Having the pre made stuff always cam in handy.
>He’s good with kids but that doesn’t mean he likes them. Once he was stuck looking after Ienzo because Even had to run off to get synthesis items. At one point Dilan forgot that he was supposed to be watching Ienzo and lowkey freaked out (though you wouldn’t be able to tell). Much to his relief, the boy had been sitting off to the side, nose-deep in a book.
>He liked Ienzo because he was quiet and didn’t cause much trouble. Zexion on the other hand never shuts up, so Xaldin avoids him as much as possible.
>Dilan and Aeleus play cards every now and then in their down time.
>Dilan//Xaldin has the type of face that makes kids stop doing stupid stuff. Like there are the adults who can threaten you all you want and you won’t be phased, like Xigbar/Braid, but as soon as Xaldin/Dilan gives you that glare you immediately stop whatever dumb thing you’re about to do.
>On that topic, Xaldin has on multiple occasions walked in on Xigbar yelling at an unfazed and even giggling Demyx. As soon as Demyx catches Xaldin’s raised eyebrow and deep set glare, he will yelp, apologize to Xaldin and waltz off.
>He eats kale
>The reason his voice is really gruff is because he naps all the time. He literally just always has that “I just woke up” voice. No one knows what he really sounds like.
>Out of the youngest Organization members, the one he can tolerate the most is Demyx surprisingly. Roxas and Xion are too gullible/naive. Zexion talks too much, last he heard. Saix is a hard ass, and Axel just gives him bad vibes. It doesn’t help that when they were sombodies, Axel and Saix gave him an extremely hard time.
>On that note, Demyx is the one Xaldin is most protective of. Not in obvious ways. More like, if he sees Demyx chugging water, he’ll tell him to slow down or he’ll choke and that Xaldin doesn’t want to deal with that or if Demyx isn’t paying attention during a meeting, he’ll send a gust of wind to wake him up.
>He’s really specific about his cooking and the ingredients he uses but will still just eye the measurements because he’s so skilled at it
will probably add more later
Excuse me, may I?
