This isn't skills cooldown. This is the forms system from BBS that was continued in 2.8 Fragmentary Passage. Those timers are until Second Form runs out, and when Firaza and Blizzaza become unusable. Use of one exhausts the other two.

Oh. I'm not sure how that works. If he uses Blizara in the image above, do all the timers disappear? Or does the timer reset? Perhaps that's what's going on, but is that the case here as well?

There are no other skills appearing alongside the Thundaza timer, and Sora doesn't appear to be in any Drive Mode, although the UI may simply not show it.

It's been a few months since I played 2.8, so my details may be a touch off, but: Forms aren't quite like Drive, although Drive was certainly their inspiration. Forms are basically styles that come with their own move sets and combos, built up in combat through use of specific skills and abilities. Thundaza for example likely appears because a casting of Thunder magic just happened. You can either use Thundaza to reset your combo, or keep building up combo to reveal next level forms and single use skills. Usually utilizing magic will help reveal element specific forms, so situation dependent, it may not be worth blowing a build up on a single strengthened magic spell. This system first appeared as a means of combo building in BBS and didn't return until 2.8.

I'm not sure exactly how they'll tweak it here, but it looks like it's basically the same as 2.8, so there probably won't be any surprises. It's still relatively classic KH, but adds some variants to the basic "X X X" no aim combo.
