{{Q|Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But lo, a lovely maiden I see. Alas, she is more fair than thee.|Magic Mirror}}
In Dwarf Woodlands, the Queen asks the Spirit of the Magic Mirror who is the most beautiful person in their land, but is told that she has been surpassed by [[Snow White]].


When the Queen returns to the mirror under the belief that her huntsman has slain Snow White, the Spirit informs her that she was tricked, and that the Huntsman had provided her with only a pig's heart.{{fact}}

{{Q|Beyond both light and dark he dwells. Where war was raged upon the fells.|The Magic Mirror's riddle to Terra}}
[[File:MagicMirror.jpg|200px|Aqua, confronted by the Magic Mirror.|thumb|left]]
[[File:Spirit of the Magic Mirror Battle 01 KH BBS.png|thumb|200px|After being sucked into the Queen's mirror, Terra is forced to exchange blows with the Spirit of the Magic Mirror.]]
The Magic Mirror first appears in [[Terra]]'s scenario. The evil Queen asked the mirror who the fairest one of all was, telling her it was Snow White. The Queen later promised that Terra could use the mirror to find Master Xehanort if he could kill Snow White and bring her the princess's heart. However, Terra was unable to do so, and told the Queen he never intended to do so. Terra then proceeds to tell her that unlike Snow White, she has much darkness in her heart. The Queen, insulted and outraged, commanded the mirror to destroy Terra, but it refused, saying it can only answer questions.  
When Terra arrives at the [[Magic Mirror Chamber]], he stumbles upon the Queen summoning the Spirit of the Magic Mirror. She demands to know who is "the fairest one of all", but to her fury, the Mirror informs her that that honor belongs to [[Snow White]], and that she possesses a heart filled with light. Terra is intrigued by the mirror, and when the Queen notices him, she commands him to murder Snow White in exchange for letting him question the mirror about [[Master Xehanort]]'s whereabouts. Hoping to avoid an incident like that with [[Aurora]], Terra decides to simply ask the [[Princess]], but when he finds her in the [[Flower Glade]], a swarm of Unversed appear and she runs off in fright. Terra resigns himself to forcing the Queen to have the mirror provide his answer, and returns to her chamber.


Enraged by his disobedience, the Queen commands the Spirit of the Magic Mirror to consume Terra, and uses a magic potion to transform the Spirit of the Magic Mirror into an Unversed so that he can draw Terra into his realm and consume him. However, Terra subdues the spirit and returns to the Queen, who he forces to question the mirror about Xehanort. The mirror cryptically answers that Xehanort dwells "where war was waged upon the fells", implying the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], so Terra leaves to continue his search.
This being the last straw, the Queen throws a potion at the mirror, (She emits a red aura that has the same effects in the Japanese version of the game) causing it to transform and suck Terra in and fight him. However, it is defeated and releases Terra, who then demands the Queen to ask the mirror where Master Xehanort is. The mirror tells him, "Beyond both light and dark he dwells, to where war was waged beyond the fells.", indicating the Keyblade Master resided at the Keyblade Graveyard. Terra thanked the mirror for its cooperation before taking his leave.


{{canon
The Magic Mirror later appears in [[Aqua]]'s scenario. When Aqua looks for a cure for Snow White in the castle, The mirror, still possessed, drags her into the mirror for a fight, but she also manages to defeat it and is released. The mirror then disappears stating that since the Queen is dead, its purpose has been fulfilled.
|In the Japanese version, the Queen's darkness itself transforms the spirit into an Unversed.

After the Queen leaves the castle and curses [[Snow White]] with a poisoned apple, Aqua ventures into the chamber seeking clues to reverse the curse. The Unversed stirs and drags her into his realm as well, but she also subdues the spirit, who then proclaims the Queen's death and his own freedom, then vanishes into oblivion without providing Aqua any clues.
==Appearance==
The Spirit of the Magic Mirror is a white theatre mask, though the light often falls on it in such a way to give it a two-toned appearance. It has high-set eyebrows and its "eyes" are empty holes, similarly to its mouth. The back of the Spirit's "face" is black.


===''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' ===
The actual mirror is surrounded by chiseled tiles representing the twelve signs of the western [[wikipedia:Zodiac|Zodiac]].
Once [[Dwarf Woodlands]] falls into the [[Realm of Darkness]], the Magic Mirror goes with it. However, it appears the Spirit no longer lives in the mirror; the mirror itself appears to be manipulated by the dark realm. Aqua finds it near Snow White's glass coffin, having forgotten about it in the ten years she has been trapped. When she touches the mirror, and is pulled into the Magic Mirror's realm (the World Within) again by her own reflection. Several copies of the Magic Mirror steal Aqua's reflection, creating [[Phantom Aqua]]. Aqua defeats several copies of the phantom, eventually escaping the World Within.


==Design==
==Personality==
[[File:Spirit of the Magic Mirror 02 KHBBS.png|thumb|150px|left|The Spirit of the Magic Mirror within its mirror.]]
The Spirit of the Magic Mirror is not inherently evil, rather it is an obedient servant who will do whatever it is told. It is shown to have little to no emotion, which is emphasized by the dull, monotonous tone in his voice. Despite its loyalty to the Queen, it has refused her orders, an example being when it was ordered to destroy Terra. It refused, stating it could only answer questions, though it was later forced into doing so. The Spirit also has the unusual tendency to talk in rhymes.

==Fighting Style==

{{Main|Spirit of the Magic Mirror}}
The Spirit of the Magic Mirror is an agile fighter, keeping its distance from opponents while shooting fireballs from its mouth. It also uses the mirror world to its advantage, creating replicas to confuse and attack opponents. It often slides horizontally across the ground while creating frame-by-frame reflections of its last few positions, inflicting damage to its opponents.

==Abilities==
{{Main|Game:Magic Mirror}}
On its own, the Spirit of the Magic Mirror is an omniscient spirit who can see into all worlds.


As an Unversed, the Spirit of the Magic Mirror is an agile fighter, keeping its distance from opponents while shooting fireballs from its mouth. It also uses the mirror world to its advantage, creating replicas to confuse and attack opponents. It often slides horizontally across the ground while creating frame-by-frame reflections of its last few positions, inflicting damage to its opponents.


==Origin==
{{Disneyvillains}}
The Magic Mirror first appeared in ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'' as the Queen's counselor-of-sorts. The Mirror would appear at the Queen's request and would give her poetic answers to her questions (rather than saying Snow White, for example, he described her to the Queen). When the Queen asked the huntsman to bring back Snow White's heart in a box, the Mirror was able to identify the heart as the "heart of a pig" and so the Queen left to take care of Snow White herself, leaving what happened to the Magic Mirror after that a mystery.
