Magic: Difference between revisions

In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', choosing the [[Dream Rod]] in the [[Dive to the Heart]] grants greater magic-casting ability upon leveling up earlier in game. Magic-focused play styles are considered to be among the more difficult to use, owing largely to the care that must be taken of elemental effects, as some enemies may either be immune to and/or healed by certain elements, as well as the limitation of a finite amount of MP which must be carefully managed, with the assistance of restorative items and abilities such as [[MP Haste]] and [[MP Rage]].

Many individuals in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe are capable of using magic. All wielders of the [[Keyblade]] are capable of learning magic, and magic of the Keyblade itself is capable of great feats, being able to lock a [[world]]'s Keyhole, open [[gate]]s, and transform into different forms. There are also those that specialize in the use of magic, such as Donald Duck, [[Merlin]], and [[Yen Sid]]. Those that are adept at magic can use it in a wide variety of uses outside of combat, such as transformations, transportation between worlds, realms, or even time periods, or casting enchantments or curses. Like many techniques, spells are often accompanied by an invocation, such as "Light!" when casting a [[Holy]] spell.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', magic can be used during missions when magic panels are installed into the [[Panel System|panel grid]]. The number of  

available casts for a type of basic magic is determined by the number of installed panels for that type, but casts can be restored mid-mission by using items such as Ethers. Linking basic magic panels to special magic panels will [[Magic Panel#Leveling Magic|increase the level]] or [[Magic Panel#Multiple Casts|grant multiple casts]] of that magic.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', a wide variety of magic techniques are available, basic and advanced, in the form of magic commands. As with {{c|attack command|KHBBS}}s, magic commands go through a cool-down period before they can be used again, but otherwise their use is not limited.

Additionally, the effect of offensive magic changes when cast underwater.
