The Malice is a pair of Ethereal Blades that can be wielded by Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

The Malice is light grey, symbolizing that it is the most basic of Xemnas's weapons through the use of achromatic colors. It has a shape resembling a blunt, slightly curved lightning bolt. When striking enemies, it releases spheres of white lightning.

"Malice" is a desire or intention to harm or deprive in an illegal or immoral way, out of ill will or spite.
