Fire (ファイア Faia ), Fira (ファイラ Faira ), and Firaga (ファイガ Faiga , lit. "Figa") 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 fire and are associated with the Blazing material. It is the first spell introduced in the series.
Mechanics
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Fire is similar to its usage Kingdom Hearts in that it shoots a homing ball of fire. There are also multiple fire-based Deck Commands. The Firestorm Command Style also uses the element of fire. In the Dwarf Woodlands, Fire magic is used to create steam bubbles to jump on in order to get to higher platforms. Many new Deck Commands that utilize Fire magic are introduced, including Fire Surge, Crawling Fire, and Fission Firaga.
Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, using Fire magic will make Sora shoot a fireball straight forward from the tip of his Keyblade at the cost of one Charge Gauge unit. The fireball has slight homing properties, meaning it can arc in any direction. The arc is rather large, however, making the spell's usefulness somewhat limited at a distance. In this game, Fire spells performed by Sora and Donald can only damage one enemy per use.

Keyblades are sometimes given elemental properties in this game. The Fire-elemental keyblades appearing in this game are as follows:
Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, the Fire spell acts as a shield that forms around Sora and damages any enemies that come into contact with it. This spell is generally regarded as useful only before acquiring Reflect, which surpasses it in both defensive and offensive capacity. It is also useful for damaging numerous enemies that are gathered around Sora, a trait first given to the Thunder and Gravity spells in Kingdom Hearts.
The Reaction Command Firagun is considered by some to be an additional Fire spell, though it is only usable once in Agrabah and once during the Hades Paradox Cup during the boss fight against the Volcanic Lord and Blizzard Lord. Sora is not shown to cast a spell, but rather hurls the Volcanic Lord across the field. No fire is actually released in this attack, nor does any magic actually appear to be used. It is implied, though, that it is a fourth-tier spell, as fourth-tier Fire accessories bear the name Firagun.
A new passive ability, Fire Boost, also makes an appearance, and will increase the amount of damage done by Fire spells. It is also a passive ability acquired when equipping the Bond of Flame.
Characters who cast Fire magic in Kingdom Hearts II:
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Fire magic is usable again in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, this time in the form of a panel. Fire shoots a homing ball of fire that deals damage to enemies on contact. Fira shoots a penetrating, non-homing ball that explodes on contact. Firaga launches a large ball of fire into the air, dropping in an arc, with slight homing properties that explodes when it makes contact with the ground or the target.
Kingdom Hearts coded
In Kingdom Hearts coded, the use of the Fire spell is permitted once the appropriate Hero's License is obtained in Olympus Coliseum.
