Blizzard
Blizzard (ブリザド Burizado ), Blizzara (ブリザラ Burizara ), and Blizzaga (ブリザガ Burizaga ) magic are spells that appear in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts coded. They utilize the element of ice and are associated with the Frost material. In all of its appearances, Blizzard appears as a projectile; however, the specific execution and effects of the spell differ between games.
Mechanics
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Blizzard magic is similar to Kingdom Hearts II in that it shoots a large chunk of ice directly in front of the caster, and there are multiple ice-based attacks as well. The Diamond Dust and Frozen Fortune Command Styles are also ice-based.
Kingdom Hearts
Sora and Donald can obtain each type of Blizzard spell but can only cast the most powerful version they possess. Jack Skellington can also cast his own version, Icy Terror.
In Kingdom Hearts, Blizzard shoots a spreading burst of ice crystals in front of the castor at the cost of 1 MP bar. The spread widens each time the spell is upgraded, and is capable of striking several enemies at once.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Blizzard appears as a magic card that can be used by Sora. Donald and Jack can still cast forms of Blizzard when summoned. The Blizzard card can be used in the following sleights:

Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II Blizzard replaces Fire as the default single-target attack spell and has been changed to shoot a single ice chunk directly in front of Sora. It is, however, capable of striking enemies positioned behind the spell's target.
The Reaction Command Blizzagun, usable Kingdom Hearts II, is considered by some to be another variant of the Blizzard spell. It is only usable in a battle in Agrabah and in the Hades Paradox Cup, both times against the Blizzard Lord. The attack captures the Blizzard Lord and hurls it across the field. No ice is released during this attack, nor does any magic appear to be used.
A new ability, Blizzard Boost, increases the amount of damage done by Blizzard magic. It is generally learned by leveling, and is also a passive ability acquired when equipping the Mysterious Abyss Keyblade.
Characters who cast Blizzard magic in Kingdom Hearts II:
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Blizzard is similar to King Mickey's Pearl spell and Jack Skellington's Blizzard in that it possesses homing properties and can pass through several targets. Blizzara shoots a ball of ice that disperses into a small snowstorm when it lands, damaging any enemy coming into contact with it. Blizzaga sets a trap in the form of a small ice mine that, when approached, triggers a large explosion of ice.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Blizzard magic mimicks the effect it had in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Several attacks are also ice-based and there are 4 advanced Blizzard attacks: Triple Pursuit, Triple Blizzaga, Blizzaga Pursuit, and Icicle Mine.
