Malice

Malice (マーシリス, Māshirisu, lit. "Merciless") is one of Xemnas's weapons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is Xemnas's basic weapon, and therefore requires no Gears to be attached to him in order to wield it. In appearance, Malice is light gray, symbolizing that it is the most basic of all of Xemnas's weapons through the use of achromatic colors. When an enemy is struck with Malice, a white electrical sphere appears.
