In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Ars Arcanum is a [[Special Ability]] that Sora can use while on the ground against a target at close range. It lets Sora unleash a flurry of up to thirteen slashes. Sora is invulnerable during the technique. Selecting the {{nihongo|'''Arcanum'''|アルカナム|Arukanamu}} command from the last command bar executes the initial attack, an additional five attacks can be added by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Bash'''|ブレイク|Bureiku|lit. "Break"}} command each time it becomes available, and the final, more powerful finishing strike is executed by selecting the {{nihongo|'''Finish'''<ref name="finis"/>|ジ・エンド|Ji Endo|lit. "The End"}} command when it appears. The final hit of "Arcanum", as well as those of "Bash" and "Finish", can land [[critical hit]]s. In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', the initial Arcanum command, the Bash followups, and the finisher are all implemented as [[Reaction Commands]], but Bash and Finish do not provide invulnerability. Ars Arcanum costs 4 {{AP}} to equip and 3 [[MP]] to use.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Ars Arcanum is an [[attack sleight]] that delivers eight powerful blows, followed by a forward somersaulting slash. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', it follows the original version more closely and is harder to interrupt, and five additional strikes can be added by pressing {{button|t}} when prompted, but pressing the button at the wrong time cancels the combo. Due to how fast Sora is pulled to the target when using Ars Arcanum, it can be used with some effectiveness at nearly any range - Sora will almost certainly reach the target within the first few strikes.
