'''Holy''', sometimes also called '''Pearl''' or '''Faith''', is a semi-recurring spell in the [[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]] Series. In each appearance, Holy makes use of rays, spheres, or pillars of holy light to damage enemies, and, in [[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]] also restores the caster's health. The first mention of Holy spells in the series comes with the [[Angel Star]] [[Heartless]], which are said to be born of Holy spells, and which absorb most forms of magic, though the spell is not useable in-game. Notably, this spell has never been useable by player characters in either the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' or in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. | '''Holy''', sometimes also called '''Pearl''' or '''Faith''', is a semi-recurring spell in the [[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]] Series.

'''Faith''' appears as a [[Deck Command]] exclusive to [[Ventus]]. It releases a circle of lasers similar to those employed by [[Roxas]] that annihilate nearby enemies and restore his health all at once. He additionally possesses the Deck Command [[Salvation]], which appears to draw upon this same power to both attack and heal at once. | '''Faith''' appears as a [[Deck Command]] exclusive to [[Ventus]].

*The use of ''Pearl'' | *The use of ''Pearl'' may have been the result of a creative mistranslation based upon the spell's animation in the game in which it appeared under that name, in which it summoned three pearls of light that descended and exploded to damage an enemy. The spell ''White Wind'' is called ''Pearl Wind'' in this version of the game as well. It may also have been a misrepresentation of the English word ''pure''. | ||
