Magic

Line 41:

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.

There are five varieties of magic that appear, each with three tiers; however, unlike in other games, different tiers of one type of magic will have different effects. For example, [[Fire]] launches a homing fireball, ~~while~~ Fira shoots a penetrating fireball straight ahead, and Firaga launches a large fireball with slight homing capabilities into the air, after which it explodes.

''Kingdom Hearts III'' uses the same magic system as ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''.

There are six types of basic magic, with three tiers becoming available upon reaching certain milestones. Unlike in past ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, ~~the~~ tiers ~~used for~~ magic ~~affect the amount of~~ MP ~~consumed~~; for instance, [[Fire]] ~~consumes~~ 10 MP, Fira 14 MP, and Firaga 20 MP. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and each type of magic can be switched to any of the available tiers in the menu for access in the field. Up to twelve of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher. Magic combos are affected by combo-related abilities, such as Combo Plus and [[Magic Galvanizer]], and magic attacks can be interspersed with weapon attacks in one combo.{{?}} [[Cure]] magic cannot be used to make a combo.

Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the MP Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.
