Many of the magic that appears in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series borrows heavily from {{ff|Magic (Command)|magic}} in the {{ff|Final Fantasy ( | Many of the magic that appears in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series borrows heavily from {{ff|Magic (Command)|magic}} in the {{ff|Final Fantasy (series)|''Final Fantasy'' series}}. This includes elemental types, as well as specific spells, such as {{ff|Fire (Ability)|Fire}}, {{ff|Curaga}}, and {{ff|Reflect (Ability)|Reflect}}. The distinction between {{ff|Black Magic|Black}}, or offensive magic, and {{ff|White Magic|White}}, or supportive magic, is not carried over to ''Kingdom Hearts'', however. | ||
Also borrowed from ''Final Fantasy'' is the naming convention of basic magic. In most installments of ''Final Fantasy'', the higher tiers of magic are denoted by the suffixes ''-ra'' and ''-ga'', normally corresponding to the second and third tier of a spell, respectively. This convention is followed in ''Kingdom Hearts'', with one notable exception: While the fourth tier of magic in ''Final Fantasy'', when included, is ''-ja'', ''Kingdom Hearts'' uses the suffix ''-gun'', localized as ''-za'' in the English release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and as ''-ja'' in the English release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. Some [[Accessory|accessories]] are named after the fourth tier of magic, using the suffix ''-gun'' (e.g., [[Firagun Bangle]]), as are two [[Reaction Command]]s, [[Firagun]] and [[Blizzagun]]. | Also borrowed from ''Final Fantasy'' is the naming convention of basic magic.
