| '''Symphony of Sorcery''' is a [[Sleeping World]] that is featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', the second to be based on the Disney film, ''{{w|Fantasia (1940 film)|Fantasia}}''. Like [[Timeless River]] and [[Country of the Musketeers]], Symphony of Sorcery is a world from [[Mickey]]'s past, in particular during the period where Mickey was [[Yen Sid]]'s apprentice. As a world based on music, all the sounds of battle are replaced with musical notes, and dialogue is only present in specific cutscenes. | | '''Symphony of Sorcery''' is a [[world]] from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', the second to be based on the Disney film, ''{{w|Fantasia (film)|Fantasia}}''.

| ===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''=== | | ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''=== |
| The Symphony of Sorcery is a world composed of the dreams of the Mysterious Tower's past. [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] will arrive at the courtyard outside of the tower, simply called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower}}'''|不思議な塔|Fishigina Tō|lit. "Mysterious Tower"}}. Inside lies the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Tower Entrance}}'''|塔:エントランス|Tō: Entoransu}} which is overrun with water coming down a staircase leading up to the flooded {{nihongo|'''{{a|Chamber}}'''|塔:魔法使いの部屋|Tō: Mahōtsukai no Heya|lit. "Tower: Sorcerer's Chamber"}}. Inside the Chamber, various musical scores give access to three other locations in Symphony of Sorcery.
| | Sometime after [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s descent into darkness, his Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], attacked many worlds and swallowed them into the darkness. One of these worlds was Symphony of Sorcery. Though it was restored after [[Sora]] defeated Ansem and destroyed the [[End of the World]], Symphony of Sorcery remained in a state of deep sleep instead of returning to the [[Realm of Light]], plagued by Nightmare [[Dream Eaters]]. |

| | Sora witnesses Mickey casting magic spells with Yen Sid's stolen hat. He brings in a few waves, shooting starts, thunderclouds and a Dream Eater, which then attacks Sora and knocks him out cold. |
| For Sora, Mickey summons a pink songbook based on ''{{w|Symphony No. 6 (Beethoven)|The Pastoral Symphony}}''. It leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cloudwalk}}'''|雲路|Kumoji|lit. "Cloud Path"}}, an expanse of clouds and rocky pillars connected by rainbows, beneath a brilliant blue sky. The Cloudwalk connects to a forested {{nihongo|'''{{a|Glen}}'''|峡谷|Kyōkoku}} filled with twisters and stormclouds, which itself ends at the stormy {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fields}}'''|平原|Heigen|lit. "Plains"}}, a rainbow-colored field dotted with pavilions and the hiding place of the first Sound Idea.

| [[File:Symphony of Sorcery 03 KH3D.png|thumb|200px|right|A view of Moonlight Wood.]]
| | Sora reawakens in what appears to be Yen Sid's tower. However, since a sleeping Mickey, who is covered in darkness, does not regonise him, Sora guesses it's another dream world, of the days when Mickey was training to become a Keyblade master. Turns out the musical book has been possesed by Darkness through a monster, trapping Mickey in the book and preventing anyone from entering. Only the power of sound can defeat the darkness. Sora offers to help Mickey, and the latter accepts and summons another book. |
| For Riku, Mickey summons a blue songbook based on the ''{{w|The Nutcracker|Nutcracker Suite}}'', where everything is larger-than-life. The songbook opens up on the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Moonlight Wood}}'''|月光の森|Gekkō no Mori}}, a patch of flowers in the midst of night. Across a shining lake lies the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Golden Wood}}'''|金色の森|Kiniro no Mori}}, an autumn forest where the leaves themselves sprinkle pieces of [[Munny]]. At top of forest is a path to the wintry {{nihongo|'''{{a|Snowgleam Wood}}'''|雪明かりの森|Yuki Akari no Mori}}, a frozen landscape containing icy slides, floating snowflakes, chilly ponds, and the second Sound Idea. However, once Riku retrieves the Sound Idea, [[Young Xehanort]] appears and casts him into the '''{{a|Bald Mountain}}''', lair of the demon [[Chernabog]].<!--What is the source for this room name?{{fact}}-->
| |
|
| |
|
| The final red songbook is unlocked by collecting the Sound Ideas, and is based on ''{{w|The Sorcerer's Apprentice}}''. It contains a simple {{nihongo|'''{{a|Precipice}}'''|孤島|Kotō|lit. "Solitary Island"}} above the sea where the [[Spellican]] lurks. When Sora arrives, he chases the [[Nightmare]] onto a starry road flowing through the sky, which also contains a miniature arena filled with multicolored asteroids and a stellar river.
| | FLASHBACK: Mickey is bringing up buckets of water when he suddenly sees Yen Sid's crown on his desk. He swipes it, puts it on, then begins to cast magic, unknowingly summoning a Dream Eater. |
|
| |
|
| The Symphony of Sorcery's Reality Shift, [[Melody Catcher]], is vital for exploring the realm of the songbooks. It allows Sora to summon new clouds and rainbows in the Cloudwalk, calm the twisters in the Glen, and sweep away the stormy night in the Fields. Conversely, Riku uses the technique to open flower buds and part weeds in the Moonlight Wood, sprout a bower of leaves in the Golden Wood, and summon giant snowflakes in the Snowgleam Wood.
| | Sora then enters the unpossessed book through a beam of light from his Keyblade. |
|
| |
|
| ==Story==
| | Sora soon finds the Power of Sound in the Pastoral Symphony area, but then again confronts [[Young Master Xehanort]], who explains that he'll be waiting for Sora in an area beyond sleep. Sora returns to the tower, and Mickey unlocks his power of sound. However, it is not enough. Sora says it's okay, then closes his eyes. Another musical sheet appears, and Sora uses them to create a powerful song that enhances in power. This destroys the darkness, yet Mickey remains covered in darkness. |
| ===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| Sometime after [[Terra-Xehanort]]'s descent into darkness, his Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], attacked many worlds. These worlds were consequently swallowed by the darkness. One of these worlds was Symphony of Sorcery. Although it was restored after [[Sora]] defeated Ansem and destroyed the [[End of the World]], Symphony of Sorcery remained in a state of deep sleep, rather than returning to the [[Realm of Light]]. Trapped within the Realm of Sleep, it was plagued by Nightmare [[Dream Eaters]].

|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
| | Sora enters the possessed book and fights the Spellican in the Sorcerer's Apprentice area, freeing Mickey and allowing him to wake up. He thanks Sora, then heads back to his job. After a Keyhole appears, Sora seals it, ending his story. |
| While carrying buckets of water in the tower, Mickey spots Yen Sid's sorcerer's hat on his desk. Making sure that no one was around, he puts it on and begins casting magic, unknowingly summoning [[Spellican|a Dream Eater]]. As Sora arrives, he witnesses Mickey casting magic spells, bringing in a few waves, shooting stars, thunderclouds and the Dream Eater Mickey accidentally summoned, which then attacks Sora and knocks him out.
| |
|
| |
|
| When Sora awakens, he recognizes that he is in [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's tower]]. However, since a sleeping Mickey, who is covered in darkness, does not recognize him, Sora guesses that he is in another dream world, from when Mickey was training to become a Keyblade master. Communicating telepathically with Sora, Mickey explains that a musical book has been possessed by darkness through a monster, trapping Mickey in the book and preventing anyone from entering, and the only way to defeat the darkness is to retrieve a Sound Idea. Recognizing the Dream Eater that escaped Traverse Town, Sora offers to help Mickey, and the latter summons an untainted book that Sora enters with his Keyblade.

|
| |
|
| Similarly, on Riku's side of the world, an exhausted Mickey uses magic to cast a spell on a broom to avoid doing his chores. Upon waking up from a nap, he is shocked to find that are several more brooms flooding the room with water. Trying to stop them with magic, Mickey unknowingly summons the Spellican. When Riku arrives at the tower, he notices the downstairs starting to flood from the water running down the staircase. At the top, he sees room flooded and Mickey trapped in darkness. Realizing that the possessed book is responsible for it, Riku attempts to smash it with his Keyblade, but Mickey telepathically informs him that brute force won't work. Like Sora, Mickey does not recognize Riku, but does have a feeling that they will be friends one day. After Riku offers his assistance, Mickey brings in another musical sheet and explains to Riku that in order to dispel the book of its darkness, he will need to retrieve a Sound Idea inside the other book.
| | Riku enters the tower, only to see it starting to flood from the water running down the staircase. Riku wonders if it is coming from the top. He gets to the top, only to see the room flooded and Mickey trapped in darkness. Riku attempts to smash the book with his Keyblade, but Mickey reminds him that brutal force won't work. Mickey does not recognize Riku, but does have a feeling that they'll be friends one day. Mickey brings in a sheet of music. Riku goes in. |
|
| |
|
| Making their way through the magical realm within the book in their respective sides, Sora and Riku soon find the Sound Ideas in the Fields and Snowgleam Wood. However, on Sora's side, he is confronted by [[Xehanort|the unknown man]], who explains that he will be waiting for Sora in [[The World That Never Was|an area beyond sleep]] before leaving. On Riku's side, he lands on the Bald Mountain after being enveloped by darkness after locating his Sound Idea and encounters the mysterious man as well. The enigmatic figure informs Riku that the Keyblade chose Riku first, but he lost it to Sora due to his failure to control his darkness. He attempts to undermine Riku by stating that his mistakes only cause problems for other people; however, Riku remains unperturbed and demands to know what the man is planning. Seeing Riku's determination, the man commends Riku for being able to lock the darkness within him, but adds that Riku is no longer of any use to his group. As the volcano begins to erupt, the mysterious man vanishes and [[Chernabog]] suddenly appears, leaving Riku to fight him during a dive.
| | FLASHBACK: Mickey casts a spell on a broom, causing it to sprout arms. The broom then begins to featch buckets of water. Mickey falls asleep. By time he wakes up, the room is flooded with water. Now there are many brooms featching water. Mickey tries to stop them with magic, but unknowingly summons a Dream Eater. |
|
| |
|
| Following the battle, Riku finds himself back in Yen Sid's tower just as Sora returns to the tower in his version of the world. Their sides' respective Mickeys conclude that one Sound Idea is not enough to rid the darkness from the possessed book. Having faith in each other, Sora's and Riku's Sound Ideas each appear in the other's world. With the Sound Ideas combined, it created a powerful harmony, [[Dearly Beloved]], that clears the flooding water from the room and frees Mickey from the darkness on Riku's side. When Mickey inquires about what had happened, a grateful Riku guesses that Sora helped him. Mickey comments that hearing Sora's name makes him want to smile, and Riku starts telling him about Sora and how he can always "find the brightest part of anything, and pull off miracles like there's nothing to it". Mickey expresses his delight that Sora's heart and Riku's are always in tune and thinks it is thanks to Riku that Sora is who he is. Mickey voices his hope that he will also be part of a team someday, and with a smile and a handshake, Riku assures him that he will. Afterwards, the [[Keyhole]] appears and Riku unlocks it before continuing on his journey.
| | Riku manages to obtain the power of sound in the Nutcracker Suite area, but the sheets he was in suddenly goes all black, forcing Riku to fall into it. He is now in the Night on Bald Mountain area and reaches a spooky volcano and again encounters Young Master Xehanort. The mysterious man explains that the Keyblade picked Riku first, but due to being unable to control his darkness, he lost it to Sora. As Riku demands what is up the man's sleeve, the volcano begins to erupt, and Chernabog suddenly appears (Young Master Xehanort escaped during this time). Riku fights him during a dive. |
|
| |
|
| In the meantime, Sora enters the book and fights the Spellican in the Sorcerer's Apprentice area to free Mickey and allow him to wake up. With his spirit back in his body, Mickey thanks Sora with a handshake. Leaving to fetch the water before he gets into trouble, Mickey runs to the door, but not before bidding Sora farewell and promises that he will see him soon, to which the latter agrees. When the Keyhole appears, Sora unlocks it before continuing on his journey.
| | Following the battle, Riku finds himself in Yen Sid's tower and uses the power of sound, but it was not enough. Another power of sound appears to help him. The music managed to get rid of the flooding water and free Mickey. Riku suspects that Sora helped him, causing slight déjà vu in Mickey. Riku explains about Sora to Mickey, on how Sora makes everyone happy and lucky. Mickey thinks it's thanks to Riku that Sora is who he is. They part ways with a handshake and a promises to meet again one day. A Keyhole appears and is sealed. |
