{{nihongo|'''Magic'''|まほう|Mahou}} is a type of skill that appears throughout the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series.
'''Magic''' is both a form of combat and a stat parameter appearing in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series.


Magic is one of two forms of basic offense that [[Sora]] and many other characters in the series can perform, the other being weapon-based attacks, and, although the use of magic is limited by the character's remaining MP, it is, in most cases, perceptibly more powerful than physical attacks, as well as capable of inflicting elemental damage. Party members who excel with the use of magic include [[Donald Duck]], [[Ariel]] and [[Jack Skellington]]. Most summoned characters will use some form Magic as a primary form of attack, with summoning being regarded as a form of magic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' but becoming tied to the [[Drive Gauge]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
Magic can be either offensive or supportive, and it differs from weapon skills in that its usage is generally limited by some factor, such as the player's current [[MP]], and that its potency is determined by the {{c|Magic|stat|Magic stat}} (maximum MP in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''). In ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', offensive magic is the only way to inflict elemental damage. Additionally, many types of magic inflict [[status effect]]s on enemies.


Magical power seems to be at least vaguely related to intelligence, as noted by the descriptions of the the [[Dream Rod]] and [[Struggle Bats|Struggle Wand]], as well as by the name of the [[Wisdom Form]]. Unlike fighting, which seems to be able to be mastered by practice alone, it appears that magic must be taught, learned and studied.
[[Party members]] who specialize in magic include [[Donald Duck]], [[Jack Skellington]], and [[Zexion]].{{fact}}


Magic is often associated with the color blue, with MP being represented by a blue meter in the status bar. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', there was an additional gold bar called Charge Units overlapping the blue MP Meter to represent [[MP Recovery]], and which could be used as additional MP, however, in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', this bar does not appear, and upon expending his MP, Sora must wait for the magic recharge gauge to be refilled before he is able to cast any further spells.
Magical power is associated with wisdom, as indicated by the descriptions of the [[Dream Rod]] and [[Struggle Wand]], as well as [[Wisdom Form]]. It is also associated with the color blue, the color of the [[MP gauge]]s appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the color of [[magic card]]s in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and the signature color of Wisdom Form. In the menus, magic is represented by a symbol of Donald's mage hat.


MP may be recovered by dealing damage to enemies; by stepping into a [[Save Point]] and allowing the MP gauge to refill; by the use of an [[Ether]], [[Mega-Ether]] or [[Elixir]]; by the use of a [[Tent]] (''KHII'') or a [[Cottage]] (''KHI'') or by picking up the bubble-like MP Orbs dropped by enemies and by the wisps appearing in the [[Underworld]].
In ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', choosing the [[Dream Rod]] in the [[Dive to the Heart]] grants greater magic-casting ability upon [[level]]ing up earlier in-game. Magic-focused play styles are considered to be among the more difficult to use, owing largely to the care that must be taken of elemental effects, as some enemies may either be immune to and/or healed by certain elements, as well as the limitation of a finite amount of MP which must be carefully managed, with the assistance of restorative [[items]] and [[abilities]] such as [[MP Haste]] and [[MP Rage]].


Magic-heavy playing styles are considered to be among the more difficult to use effectively, largely due to the attention that must be paid to elemental differentiation, as some enemies will not be harmed and may even be healed when attacked by certain elements, and the clear limitation imposed by possessing a finite amount of MP, which is only partially remedied by a large stock of restorative items and further by abilities such as ''MP Haste'' and ''MP Rage''.
==Usage==
[[File:Ice Barrage KH3D.gif|thumb|Riku casts Ice Barrage, a variation of the Blizzard spell, in ''Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD''.]]
Many individuals in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe are capable of using magic. All wielders of the [[Keyblade]] are capable of learning magic, and magic of the Keyblade itself is capable of great feats, being able to lock a [[world]]'s [[Keyhole]], open [[gate]]s, and transform into different forms. Some specialize in the use of magic, such as Donald Duck, [[Merlin]], and [[Yen Sid]]. Those that are adept at magic can use it in a wide variety of uses outside of combat, such as transformations, transportation between worlds, realms, or even time periods, or casting enchantments or curses. Like many techniques, spells are often accompanied by an invocation, such as "Light!" when casting a [[Holy]] spell.

[[File:MP Orb KHII.png|thumb|An MP orb.]]
*[[Thunder]]
There are seven types of basic magic that become available throughout ''Kingdom Hearts'', which are upgraded upon reaching certain milestones, up to maximum of three tiers. They are accessible from the [[Commands#Command Menu|Command Menu]] under "Magic", and three of them can be set to shortcuts at a time for easy access during battle.
*[[Cure]]
*[[Gravity]] (not available in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', or ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''. Zero Gravity in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.)
*[[Stop]] (not available in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' or ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.)
*[[Aero]] (not available in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.)
*[[Magnet]] (''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'', ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''.)
*[[Reflect]] (''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep'' as Aqua's guard.)
*[[Sleight#Magic Sleights|Holy]] (''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'', ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' as The King's Limit Break and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' as a Finish Command.)


==Magic Power==
Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting [[MP Orb]]s, attacking enemies, using restorative items such as [[Ether]]s, or by touching a [[Save Point]]. Some party members' {{c|abilities|KH}} can also restore MP. The length of the MP gauge determines how effective magic casts are, and as basic magic gets upgraded to higher tiers, it will become even more powerful.
[[File:Terra Zero Gravity.jpg|thumb|400px|Terra using Zero Gravity magic.]]
The amount of damage caused by an individual spell is governed by the spell's base power combined with either the caster's max MP (in ''Kingdom Hearts'') or magic power (in ''Kingdom Hearts II'') through a set formula, in addition to any elemental strengths or weaknesses possessed by the target of the spell coupled with any [[ability|abilities]] that boost the power of certain element.


Each standard magic power, with the exception of Holy, appears in three tiers of increasing power denoted by a particular suffix appended to the end of the spell's name. Base-tier spells bear no special suffix, but set the precedent for the names of other spells of the same element. Second-tier spells generally append ''-ra'' or ''-ara'', sometimes dropping the final syllable of the original spell (cf. Blizzard > Blizzara; Reflect > Reflera etc., whereas third-tier spells will generally append ''-ga'', ''-aga'' or ''-ega''. Once he has acquired all of the first-tier spells in ''Kingdom Hearts'', [[Merlin]] will present Sora with the [[Spellbinder]] Keyblade.
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', [[summon]]ing is categorized as magic.


A pair of negative suffixes -gun and -agun, make an appearance in the battles against the [[Volcanic Lord]] and the [[Blizzard Lord]], and are seen in fourth-level magic armor. They do not appear to have originated with ''Final Fantasy'' titles, but rather to be exclusive to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, though whether or not these are spells is debatable.
===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
{{main|Magic card|Sleight#Magic Sleights|l2=Magic sleights}}
[[Magic card]]s represent the types of magic that appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts''. They are colored blue, as are [[summon card]]s. By using [[sleight]]s, higher-tiered magic can be used in battle, as can advanced magic techniques, such as [[Tornado]] and [[Mega Flare]].


Certain abilities may also influence the power of magic, though these generally have more weight in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', in which the [[Keyblade]], Donald's staff, and [[Goofy]]'s shield held abilities themselves. Abilities that affect magic include:
===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
There are six types of basic magic in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which are upgraded upon reaching certain milestones, up to a maximum of three tiers. They are accessible from the [[Commands#Command Menu|Command Menu]] under "Magic", and four of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to [[attack]] combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher. Magic combos are affected by combo-related abilities, such as [[Combo Plus]] and [[Finishing Plus]], and magic attacks can be interspersed with weapon attacks in one combo. [[Magnet]] and [[Cure]] magic cannot be used to make a combo.


*[[MP Recovery]]
Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, entering a [[Drive Form]], or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, [[MP Charge]] begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.
*[[MP Charge]]
 
Wisdom Form, [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]] have abilities that enhance the casting of magic, while [[Valor Form]] and [[Limit Form]] disable the use of magic.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
{{see also|Panel System#Magic Panels|l1=Panel System|Magic Panel}}
In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', magic can be used during missions when magic panels are installed into the [[Panel System|panel grid]]. The number of available casts for a type of basic magic is determined by the number of installed panels for that type, but casts can be restored mid-mission by using items such as Ethers. Linking basic magic panels to special magic panels will [[Magic Panel#Leveling Magic|increase the level]] or [[Magic Panel#Multiple Casts|grant multiple casts]] of that magic.
 
There are five varieties of magic that appear, each with three tiers; however, unlike in other games, different tiers of one type of magic will have different effects. For example, [[Fire]] launches a homing fireball, Fira shoots a penetrating fireball straight ahead, and Firaga launches a large fireball with slight homing capabilities into the air, after which it explodes.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
{{main|Magic command (KHBBS)}}
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', a wide variety of magic techniques are available, basic and advanced, in the form of magic commands. As with {{c|attack command|KHBBS}}s, magic commands go through a cool-down period before they can be used again, but otherwise, their use is not limited.
 
Magic commands may be dropped by enemies, purchased from shops, found in small [[treasure chest]]s, or obtained from various [[mini-games]], such as the [[Command Board]].
 
<!--Can we say anything about coded?-->
===''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''===
{{main|Magic command (KHREC)}}
In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', magic commands return in the same capacity as in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.
 
They may be found in [[rare prize blox]], purchased from shops, or awarded for high ranks in boss battles.<!--What else is there to say?-->
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
{{main|Magic command (KH3D)}}
In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', magic commands return in the same capacity as in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''.
 
Magic commands may be purchased from shops, found in large chests, obtained through [[Ability Link]] or won from mini-games.<!--What else is there to say?-->
 
===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' uses the same magic system from ''Kingdom Hearts II''.
 
There are only four types of basic magic available, which are at their respective third tiers from the beginning. They are accessible from the [[Command Menu]] under "Magic", and four of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher.{{?}}
 
Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.
 
In addition to standard magic, magic [[Situation Command]]s are introduced. If the gauge above the Command Menu is filled by inflicting damage with magic, a Situation Command will appear above the Command Menu for the attribute that was used the most to fill the gauge. The tier will be one above the tier of the magic that was used.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
''Kingdom Hearts III'' uses the same magic system as ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''.
 
There are six types of basic magic, with three tiers becoming available upon reaching certain milestones. Unlike in past ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, higher tiers of magic consume more MP; for instance, [[Fire]] costs 10 MP, Fira 14 MP, and Firaga 20 MP. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and each type of magic can be switched to any of the available tiers in the menu for access in the field. Up to twelve of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher. Magic combos are affected by combo-related abilities, such as Combo Plus and [[Magic Galvanizer]], and magic attacks can be interspersed with weapon attacks in one combo.{{?}} [[Cure]] magic cannot be used to make a combo.
 
Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the MP Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.
 
The way offensive magic is cast can change based on the current [[Formchange]]. The different styles of magic casting are:
*{{nihongo|'''{{a|Basic Style}}'''|基本スタイル|Kihon Sutairu}}: The standard use of magic. Each type of offensive magic has a unique casting effect. This style is used by every Keyblade's base form, [[Second Form]], [[Counter Shield]], [[Mirage Staff]], [[Nano Arms]], {{c|Frying Pan|Formchange}}, [[Ultimate Form]], [[Light Form]], [[Dark Form]] and [[Double Form]].
*{{nihongo|'''{{a|Proximity Style}}'''|近接スタイル|Kinsetsu Sutairu}}: Offensive magic is cast in a dome or circle around Sora, damaging nearby enemies in a manner similar to Fire magic in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. This style is used by [[Hyper Hammer]], [[Agile Claws]], [[Blizzard Claws]], [[Blizzard Blades]], [[Storm Flag]] and [[Boom Hammer]].
*{{nihongo|'''{{a|Dual Style}}'''|二連スタイル|Ni-ren Sutairu}}: Offensive magic is cast as small projectiles that are fired in paired bursts. Each successive tier of magic increases the number of projectiles per burst by one. This style is used by [[Double Arrowguns]], [[Twin Yo-Yos]], and [[Hunny Blasters]].
*{{nihongo|'''{{a|Artillery Style}}'''|砲撃スタイル|Hōgeki Sutairu}}: Offensive magic is cast as a large cannonball-like projectile that explodes on impact, similar to Firaga in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. This style is used by [[Magic Launcher]], [[Drill Punch]], [[Hunny Launcher]], {{c|Highwind|Formchange}}, and [[Clock Drill]].
Additionally, the effect of offensive magic changes when they are cast underwater.
 
As playable characters, [[Riku]] has access to [[Thundaga]] and Curaga magic, while [[Aqua]] has access to Firaga, [[Blizzaga]], Thundaga, and Curaga.<!-- As allies, Riku can use [[Dark Firaga]]; Aqua can use Blizzaga, Thundaga, and Curaga; [[Mickey]] can use [[Faith]] and Curaga; [[Kairi]] can use Curaga; [[Xion]] can use Curaga.--><!--what are we including for magic? Donald's techniques? what else that doesn't fall under the basic set? anything that uses the magic stat?-->
 
In ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', as playable characters, [[Roxas]] can use [[Waterga]] and Curaga, while Kairi has access to all six spells.
 
The magic Situation Commands from ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'' return, now called '''Grand Magic'''. Again, Grand Magic commands will be one tier above the magic that triggered them. Certain {{c|abilities|kh3}} obtained through equipping specific weapons or accessories or through a [[Full Course Bonus]] allow grand magic commands to generate more easily during battle, as well as grant access to the otherwise unavailable Curaza command.

==Origin and naming==
Many of the magic that appears in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series borrows heavily from {{ff|Magic (command)|magic}} in the {{ff|Final Fantasy (series)|''Final Fantasy'' series}}. This includes elemental types, as well as specific spells, such as {{ff|Fire (Ability)|Fire}}, {{ff|Curaga}}, and {{ff|Reflect (Ability)|Reflect}}. The distinction between {{ff|Black Magic|Black}}, or offensive magic, and {{ff|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 second and third tiers of magic are usually denoted by the suffixes ''-ra'' and ''-ga'', 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 in English as ''-za'' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' and ''-ja'' in ''[[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]].
 
==Abilities==<!--DO WE NEED THIS-->

[[File:Curaga KHD.gif|thumb|Roxas using Curaga in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'']]
Offensive spells, such as Fire (in ''Kingdom Hearts II''), Blizzard (in ''Kingdom Hearts'') and Thunder, can enable Sora to attack or even destroy multiple enemies with a single stroke, as well as to pierce physical defense. The defensive spells Aero and Reflect can also cause damage at higher levels, and possess numerous strategic uses.
*'''Cure''': Restores an amount of HP.
*'''Cura''': Restores HP over time.
*'''Curaga''': Creates a zone that restores HP.
{{-}}


Gravity, Magnet, Slow and Stop affect how an enemy moves. Gravity grounds aerial enemies, making them easier to hit with standard attacks in addition to inflicting a rather sizable amount of damage to enemies with high HP, and can, at higher levels, destroy several enemies in a single casting. Magnet brings enemies together at a certain point, making stationary attacks easier to execute, whereas Stop freezes enemies in suspended animation, allowing for an easy kill, though the damage acquired while frozen in time does not appear until the end of the spell's duration.

====''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''====
===Esuna===
*'''Fire''': Acts as a homing projectile, not as powerful as the other spells perhaps, but has great range and moderate speed. 
====''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''====
*'''Blizzard''': Acts more like a shotgun, firing several weak shards of ice that spread to affect a large area.
*'''Esuna''': Cures all negative status effects.
*'''Thunder''': Strikes straight down, so it can sometimes be blocked if the target is under a ledge, but this also allows the player to magically attack an enemy behind the front lines.
{{-}}


====''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''====
====''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''====
The elemental spells do not really change from the first Kingdom Hearts, a decision made to help reflect the direct continuation of events that this game serves as. 
[[File:Esuna REC.gif|thumb|Data-Sora using Esuna in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'']]
*'''Blizzard''': Change from being a shotgun-style spell to flying a short range and then causing a minor explosion of ice that can, if timed right, hit multiple enemies. This was changed because in Chain of Memories the battle area is much much smaller than previously encountered, and it is likely that the developers didn't want the shotgun spread of Blizzard to make it too useful. However, Blizzard remains the same from its Kingdom Hearts counterpart in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
*'''Esuna''': Cures all negative status effects and restores a small amount of HP.

====''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''====

With the introduction of the panel system, the spells all make another change.  First and foremost, each level of spell acts differently, giving the player new options and choices when loading their panel board with magic to better face the mission challenges.
===Magnet===
*'''Fire''': Acts like it did in Kingdom Hearts.
====''Kingdom Hearts II''====
*'''Fira''': Flies straight forward but isn't stopped by enemies.
[[File:Magnega KHII.gif|thumb|300px|Sora using Magnega in ''Kingdom Hearts II'']]
*'''Firaga''': Flies up and then down in an arc, with some enemy seeking capability, then explodes on contact.
*'''Magnet''': Creates a magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies, orbs and items.
*'''Blizzard''': Seeks the target like Fire, but is much slower and moves in short bursts, making it more of a short-range spell and allowing it to hit the target multiple times before dissipating.
*'''Magnera''': Creates a stronger magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies, orbs and items.
*'''Blizzara''': Acts like it did in Chain of Memories
*'''Magnega''': Creates an even stronger magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies, orbs and items.
*'''Blizzaga''': When cast, becomes a mine that stays in place and explodes with awesome icy destruction when an enemy (or ally if the players have friendly fire activated) comes within range.  
{{-}}
*'''Thunder''': Becomes a line of fast-moving lightning bolts that travel straight and can hit multiple enemies, but if not done right will only hit once for minor damage.
*'''Thundara''': Creates a field around the character wherein multiple lightning bolts shoot down, attacking friend and foe alike--very good for attacking multiple opponents but otherwise unusually weak for a level two spell.
*'''Thundaga''': A giant bolt of lightning that hits twice, first as the bolt itself, then as a secondary radial attack from the epicenter.


====''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''====
====''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''====
In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder act very differently from previous games. 
[[File:Magnega BbS.gif|thumb|Aqua using Magnega in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'']]
*'''Fire''': Surrounds Sora with a rotating circle of flames, harming all enemies right next to him; its range and power grows as the spell upgrades.  
*'''Magnet''': Creates a magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies.
*'''Blizzard''': Flies straight ahead and hits with a minor explosion, although it does not harm enemies near the explosion site.  
*'''Magnera''': Creates a stronger magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies.
*'''Thunder''': As usual, fires straight down, but in KH2 the player doesn't have to worry about ledges providing cover.  Also, Thundaga has an excellent 'spread' on the ground, hitting any enemies too close to the target.
*'''Magnega''': Creates an even stronger magnetic vortex that pulls in enemies.
{{-}}


==='''Defense'''===
====''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''====
Cure is used to heal the caster and/or his or her allies, generally acquiring an area-of-effect as its rank increases, and is instantly effective. With the [[ability]] [[Leaf Bracer]] equipped, the user also becomes invulnerable to being interrupted while casting Cure.

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the different levels of Cure have different effects:
===Stop===
*'''Cure''': The normal Cure spell. Acts like it did on other games.
====''Kingdom Hearts''====
*'''Cura''': It has recovery effect that will restore HP over time.

*'''Stopga''': Halts the movement of surrounding enemies for an even longer period of time.  
{{-}}


==='''Limit Break'''===

*'''Stop''': Halts the movement of an enemy for a period of time.
*'''Stopra''': Halts the movement of an enemy for a longer period of time.
*'''Stopga''': Halts the movement of an enemy for an even longer period of time.
{{-}}


==Drive Forms==
====''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''====
Of Sora's Drive forms, [[Wisdom Form]], [[Master Form]], and [[Final Form]] are the best choices for Magic users.
[[File:Stopga BbS.gif|thumb|Terra using Stopga in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'']]
*'''Stop''': Halts the movement of surrounding enemies for 4 seconds.
*'''Stopra''': Halts the movement of surrounding enemies for 6 seconds.
*'''Stopga''': Halts the movement of surrounding enemies for 8 seconds.
{{-}}


Wisdom Form enables Sora to shoot magic bullets in lieu of his normal physical attacks, enabling combos at a distance but at a somewhat-reduced power, as only one keyblade may be used in this form. Only the standard magic powers consume MP, however, and spells may be cast with the greatest speed in this form, which also possesses the quickest MP recovery rate, with Wisdom Form being one of only two ways in which the strongest MP recovery skill, MP Hastega, may be equipped, the other being through the [[Ultima Weapon]].
====''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''====
[[File:Stop REC.gif|thumb|Data-Sora using Stop in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'']]
*'''Stop''': Halts the movement of surrounding enemies for a set period of time.
{{-}}


Any magic power used in Master Form will cause a slightly different effect than it normally would, usually incorporating some sort of additional keyblade attack. Sora will charge forward when casting Fire, and performs a dance-like combo while casting Thunder and will cast a double-Blizzard that goes to either side rather than straight forward. The use of two keyblades, which combine their magic stats, lends Master form extra spellcasting power, in addition to the [[Endless Magic]] ability, which allows magical combos to continue indefinitely, albeit only by disabling magic combo finishers entirely. Master form also boasts the second-highest magic recovery rate in automatically equipping the powerful ''MP Hastera'' skill.
===Slow===
====''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''====
[[File:Slow BbS.gif|thumb|Aqua using Slow in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'']]
*'''Slow''': Slows the movement of enemies around the target for a set period of time.
{{-}}


Sora, in his Final Form, has the strongest magic potential of any party member, despite having the slowest MP recovery of any magic-using drive form. Thanks to the boosts of magic-oriented abilities and the use of two keyblades in similar fashion to Master Form, Final Form Sora can attack multiple times and with much more power with the amount of magic any other form would require to land one hit. Final Form is able to augment the power of the spells themselves for maximum efficiency, calling upon multiple bolts of lightning, or launching two blasts of ice with a single casting. Although it is the weakest MP recovery skill, Final Form possesses ''MP Haste'', in addition to the very powerful magic-augmenting skill ''Crime and Punishment''.
====''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''====
[[File:Slow REC.gif|thumb|Data-Sora using Slow in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'']]
*'''Slow''': Slows the movement of surrounding enemies for a set period of time.

==Trivia==
===Confuse===
*In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Donald has a sleight called '''Magic''' in which he casts two spells, either Fire, Blizzard, Thunder or Cure. The power of the spells depends on how many Donald cards were stocked. If two Donald cards are stocked, then Donald will perform two second-tier spells, either Fira, Blizzara, Thundara or Cura. If three Donald cards are stocked, then Donald will perform two third-tier spells, either Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, or Curaga.
====''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''====
*The magic spell Flare is available to Donald through his overdrive, in addition to Shadow Flare being cast by [[Sephiroth]].
*'''Confuse''': Causes surrounding enemies to attack each other for a set period of time.
*In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Sora is able to cast the recurring Final Fantasy spell <b>Holy</b> through one of his sleights, though this only appears as a powerful engine gummi in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', alongside the ultimate black magic spells of Final Fantasy titles <b>Flare</b>, <b>Meteor</b> and <b>Ultima</b>.
{{-}}
*Players who favor magic-heavy styles will generally choose the [[Dream Rod]] in the awakening stage of the original ''Kingdom Hearts''
*The suffixes '''-ra''' and '''-ga''' are only applied to second- and third-tier spells, respectively in the English, Italian, German and Japanese versions of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. In the French version, the second form is noted with a plus (+) sign, while the third is noted with an X. The suffix -'''gun''', present in all accessories with that suffix (Firagun Armlet, for instance), is often represented as XX. In the Spanish version, the suffix '''-ga''' is noted with two plus signs (++).
*Sora is also able to cast the recurring Final Fantasy spells Quake, Warp and Tornado as [[sleights]] in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' and its remake, though these are not generally considered standard magic powers.

Latest revision as of 21:06, 11 May 2024

For other uses, see Magic (disambiguation).
A spell orb, the visualization of an obtained spell.

Magic (まほう Mahou?) is a type of skill that appears throughout the Kingdom Hearts series.

Magic can be either offensive or supportive, and it differs from weapon skills in that its usage is generally limited by some factor, such as the player's current MP, and that its potency is determined by the Magic stat (maximum MP in Kingdom Hearts). In Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, offensive magic is the only way to inflict elemental damage. Additionally, many types of magic inflict status effects on enemies.

Party members who specialize in magic include Donald Duck, Jack Skellington, and Zexion.[citation needed]

Magical power is associated with wisdom, as indicated by the descriptions of the Dream Rod and Struggle Wand, as well as Wisdom Form. It is also associated with the color blue, the color of the MP gauges appearing in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, the color of magic cards in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, and the signature color of Wisdom Form. In the menus, magic is represented by a symbol of Donald's mage hat.

In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, choosing the Dream Rod in the Dive to the Heart grants greater magic-casting ability upon leveling up earlier in-game. Magic-focused play styles are considered to be among the more difficult to use, owing largely to the care that must be taken of elemental effects, as some enemies may either be immune to and/or healed by certain elements, as well as the limitation of a finite amount of MP which must be carefully managed, with the assistance of restorative items and abilities such as MP Haste and MP Rage.

Usage[edit]

Riku casts Ice Barrage, a variation of the Blizzard spell, in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD.

Many individuals in the Kingdom Hearts universe are capable of using magic. All wielders of the Keyblade are capable of learning magic, and magic of the Keyblade itself is capable of great feats, being able to lock a world's Keyhole, open gates, and transform into different forms. Some specialize in the use of magic, such as Donald Duck, Merlin, and Yen Sid. Those that are adept at magic can use it in a wide variety of uses outside of combat, such as transformations, transportation between worlds, realms, or even time periods, or casting enchantments or curses. Like many techniques, spells are often accompanied by an invocation, such as "Light!" when casting a Holy spell.

Mechanics[edit]

Kingdom Hearts[edit]

An MP orb.

There are seven types of basic magic that become available throughout Kingdom Hearts, which are upgraded upon reaching certain milestones, up to maximum of three tiers. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and three of them can be set to shortcuts at a time for easy access during battle.

Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP Orbs, attacking enemies, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. Some party members' abilities can also restore MP. The length of the MP gauge determines how effective magic casts are, and as basic magic gets upgraded to higher tiers, it will become even more powerful.

In Kingdom Hearts, summoning is categorized as magic.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]

Main articles: Magic card and Magic sleights

Magic cards represent the types of magic that appeared in Kingdom Hearts. They are colored blue, as are summon cards. By using sleights, higher-tiered magic can be used in battle, as can advanced magic techniques, such as Tornado and Mega Flare.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

There are six types of basic magic in Kingdom Hearts II, which are upgraded upon reaching certain milestones, up to a maximum of three tiers. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and four of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher. Magic combos are affected by combo-related abilities, such as Combo Plus and Finishing Plus, and magic attacks can be interspersed with weapon attacks in one combo. Magnet and Cure magic cannot be used to make a combo.

Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, entering a Drive Form, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.

Wisdom Form, Master Form, and Final Form have abilities that enhance the casting of magic, while Valor Form and Limit Form disable the use of magic.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

See also: Panel System and Magic Panel

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, magic can be used during missions when magic panels are installed into the panel grid. The number of available casts for a type of basic magic is determined by the number of installed panels for that type, but casts can be restored mid-mission by using items such as Ethers. Linking basic magic panels to special magic panels will increase the level or grant multiple casts of that magic.

There are five varieties of magic that appear, each with three tiers; however, unlike in other games, different tiers of one type of magic will have different effects. For example, Fire launches a homing fireball, Fira shoots a penetrating fireball straight ahead, and Firaga launches a large fireball with slight homing capabilities into the air, after which it explodes.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep[edit]

Main article: Magic command (KHBBS)

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, a wide variety of magic techniques are available, basic and advanced, in the form of magic commands. As with attack commands, magic commands go through a cool-down period before they can be used again, but otherwise, their use is not limited.

Magic commands may be dropped by enemies, purchased from shops, found in small treasure chests, or obtained from various mini-games, such as the Command Board.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded[edit]

Main article: Magic command (KHREC)

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, magic commands return in the same capacity as in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

They may be found in rare prize blox, purchased from shops, or awarded for high ranks in boss battles.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

Main article: Magic command (KH3D)

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, magic commands return in the same capacity as in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.

Magic commands may be purchased from shops, found in large chests, obtained through Ability Link or won from mini-games.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- uses the same magic system from Kingdom Hearts II.

There are only four types of basic magic available, which are at their respective third tiers from the beginning. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and four of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher.[?]

Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.

In addition to standard magic, magic Situation Commands are introduced. If the gauge above the Command Menu is filled by inflicting damage with magic, a Situation Command will appear above the Command Menu for the attribute that was used the most to fill the gauge. The tier will be one above the tier of the magic that was used.

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]

Kingdom Hearts III uses the same magic system as Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-.

There are six types of basic magic, with three tiers becoming available upon reaching certain milestones. Unlike in past Kingdom Hearts games, higher tiers of magic consume more MP; for instance, Fire costs 10 MP, Fira 14 MP, and Firaga 20 MP. They are accessible from the Command Menu under "Magic", and each type of magic can be switched to any of the available tiers in the menu for access in the field. Up to twelve of them can be set to shortcuts at one time for easy access during battle. Most magic can be cast in combos, similarly to attack combos, ending with a slightly more powerful magic finisher. Magic combos are affected by combo-related abilities, such as Combo Plus and Magic Galvanizer, and magic attacks can be interspersed with weapon attacks in one combo.[?] Cure magic cannot be used to make a combo.

Casting magic costs MP, which can be recovered by collecting MP orbs, using restorative items such as Ethers, or by touching a Save Point. If the MP gauge is fully emptied, MP Charge begins, during which the gauge is replaced with the pink Charge gauge. While the MP Charge gauge gradually empties, magic cannot be used, but portions of the gauge can be emptied immediately in the same manner as recovering MP.

The way offensive magic is cast can change based on the current Formchange. The different styles of magic casting are:

Additionally, the effect of offensive magic changes when they are cast underwater.

As playable characters, Riku has access to Thundaga and Curaga magic, while Aqua has access to Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, and Curaga.

In Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind, as playable characters, Roxas can use Waterga and Curaga, while Kairi has access to all six spells.

The magic Situation Commands from Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- return, now called Grand Magic. Again, Grand Magic commands will be one tier above the magic that triggered them. Certain abilities obtained through equipping specific weapons or accessories or through a Full Course Bonus allow grand magic commands to generate more easily during battle, as well as grant access to the otherwise unavailable Curaza command.

Origin and naming[edit]

Many of the magic that appears in the Kingdom Hearts series borrows heavily from magic in the Final Fantasy series. This includes elemental types, as well as specific spells, such as Fire, Curaga, and Reflect. The distinction between Black, or offensive magic, and 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 second and third tiers of magic are usually denoted by the suffixes -ra and -ga, 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 in English as -za in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III and -ja in Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-. Some accessories are named after the fourth tier of magic, using the suffix -gun (e.g., Firagun Bangle), as are two Reaction Commands, Firagun and Blizzagun.

Abilities[edit]

Certain abilities enhance or facilitate the use of magic, generally by boosting magical damage, elemental damage, or MP recovery.

In Kingdom Hearts, some party members also possess abilities that mimic the effects of spells.
