Mechanics

The projectile itself behaves similar to Fire magic, traveling at a fast speed with some homing capabilities.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Dark Firaga is an Ultimate magic command exclusive to Terra. It deals dark damage, and it may also blind enemies. It takes up one slot in the Command Deck, has a maximum level of 5, has a normal reload time of 20 seconds and fills the Command Gauge by 35%.
