Using the power of his Keyblade, Riku goes into the magical realm and finds the Sound Idea in the Snowgleam Wood, but the realm is then enveloped in darkness, forcing Riku to fall into it. Landing on Bald Mountain, Riku encounters [[Xehanort|the mysterious young man]], who explains that the Keyblade picked Riku first, but due to being unable to control his darkness, he lost it to Sora. He attempts to undermine Riku by stating that his mistakes only cause problems for other people. However, Riku remains unperturbed and demands 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 "[[True Organization XIII|us]]". As the volcano begins to erupt, the mysterious man vanishes and [[Chernabog]] suddenly appears, leaving Riku to fight him during a dive.

Following the battle, Riku finds himself back in Yen Sid's tower and Sound Idea to try to rid of the possessed book of its darkness, but it was not enough. It was then that another Sound Idea appears to help him, creating [[Dearly Beloved|a powerful harmony]] that rid of the flooding water from the room and free Mickey from the darkness. When Mickey inquires about what had happened, a grateful Riku suspects 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 of miracles like there's nothing to it". Mickey expresses his delight that Sora's heart and Riku's is 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 friendly handshake, Riku assures him that he will with a smile. Afterwards, a Keyhole appears and Riku seals it before continuing on his journey.

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, 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. The world exists within the realm of music which can be entered through magic musical scores and while the world was asleep the musical scores remained within a dream recreation of Yen Sid's tower.

Development

Since the conception of the first Kingdom Hearts, Tetsuya Nomura had wanted to include a world based on Fantasia, but was unable to and ended up only including Chernabog as a boss in End of the World, though in a battlefield very similar to the Night on Bald Mountain segment.[1]

Setting and Areas

Main article: Mysterious Tower

The Symphony of Sorcery is a world composed of the dreams of the Mysterious Tower's past. New to the familiar tower are Mickey's songbooks, which serve as portals to three new, beautiful locations.

For Sora, Mickey summons a pink songbook based on The Pastoral Symphony. It leads to the Cloudwalk, an expanse of clouds and rocky pillars connected by rainbows, beneath a brilliant blue sky. The Cloudwalk connects to a forested Glen filled with twisters and stormclouds, which itself ends at the stormy Fields, a rainbow-colored field dotted with pavilions and the hiding place of the first Sound Idea.

For Riku, Mickey summons a blue songbook based on the Nutcracker Suite, where everything is larger-than-life. The songbook opens up on the Moonlight Wood, a patch of flowers in the midst of night. Across a shining lake lies the Golden Wood, where the leaves themselves sprinkle pieces of Munny. At the top of that forest is a path to the wintry Snowgleam Wood, 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 Bald Mountain, lair of the demon Chernabog.

The final red songbook, based on The Sorcerer's Apprentice, contains a simple Precipice 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.

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.

Story

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 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.
