Magic can be either offensive or supportive, and it differs from weapon skills in that its usage is generally limited by some factor, such as the player's current [[MP]], and that its potency is determined by the {{c|Magic|stat|Magic stat}} (maximum MP in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''). In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', offensive magic is the only way to inflict elemental damage.

Magical power is associated with wisdom, as indicated by the descriptions of the [[Dream Rod]] and [[Struggle Wand]], as well as [[Wisdom Form]]. It is also associated with the color blue, the color of the [[MP gauge]]s appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the color of [[magic card]]s in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and the signature color of Wisdom Form.

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]]. | ||

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. | ||

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, Fira shoots a penetrating fireball straight ahead, and Firaga launches a large fireball with slight homing capabilities into the air, after which it explodes. | 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.

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]]. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*The suffixes '''-ra''' and '''-ga''' are only applied to second and third-tier spells in the English, Japanese, Italian, and German versions of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. In the French versions, second-tier spells are marked with a "+", and third-tier spells are marked with an "X". The suffix '''-gun''', when used, is marked with an "XX", a "Z" (though only for the Stopza Mickey uses in ''Dream Drop Distance'') or even a "mega" prefix (in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2''). In the Spanish version of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, third-tier spells are marked "++". | |||
