In ancient times, the χ-blade was broken into twenty pieces, seven of light and thirteen of darkness. As such, to reforge the weapon, seven beings of light and thirteen beings of darkness must clash in combat. While it is possible to forge the χ-blade with as few as 1 being of light and 1 being of darkness, doing so will result in an incomplete and unstable version of the weapon. | ||

This form is located in the Keyblade Graveyard, and is formed when a being of pure darkness clashes in combat with an equivalent-strength being of pure light.
