Magic is often a very common secondary form of offense and/or utility in many RPG's. Though in this case, many of the magic spells that appear in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series borrows heavily from [[finalfantasy:Magic (Command)|magic]] in the ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy (Series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series. This includes elemental types, as well as specific spells, such as [[finalfantasy:Fire (Ability)|Fire]], [[finalfantasy:Curaga|Curaga]], and [[finalfantasy:Reflect (Ability)|Reflect]]. The distinction between [[finalfantasy:Black Magic|Black]], or offensive magic, and [[finalfantasy: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.
