Spellweaver (マジックウィッシュ Majikku Wisshu, lit. "Magic Wish") is a technique in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, and Kingdom Hearts III.
Mechanics
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Spellweaver is a Command Style exclusive to Aqua. It is activated by using a variety of Magic commands, but is overridden by Firestorm, Thunderbolt, or Diamond Dust. While using Spellweaver, Aqua uses the power of light to hover the Keyblade in midair, allowing her to slowly attack enemies while also enhancing her magic capabilities. The standard combo while attacking is a four-hit combo and the combo finisher consists of her firing a ball of light. The finisher consists of Aqua performing a magical spinning attack, controlled by the analog stick.
In Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, Spellweaver is a Style Change activated by using physical attacks. It consists of a six-hit combo, which is noticeably faster than its Birth by Sleep incarnation. The finisher no longer rapidly drains health, but rather removes chunks of health over time, and now has Aqua create an ice crystal, which she shatters at the technique's end.
Spellweaver returns in Kingdom Hearts III as a Formchange exclusive to Aqua and is activated with physical attacks. While the mechanics are exactly the same as in 0.2, this time the Finish command is immediately available upon triggering the Formchange, as opposed to needing to fill the gauge a second time.
