The Keyblade Master who passes the [[Mark of Mastery exam]] is given the choice to either travel to many worlds and explore their horizons, or to succeed their mentor and take refuge in their world to protect it from malevolent forces. However, there are also Keyblade Masters who have instead chosen to abuse their powers for their own gain, such as [[Master Xehanort]].
The Keyblade Master who passes the [[Mark of Mastery exam]] is given the choice to either travel to many worlds and explore their horizons, or to succeed their mentor and take refuge in their world to protect it from malevolent forces. However, there are also Keyblade Masters who have instead chosen to abuse their powers for their own gain, such as [[Master Xehanort]].
In ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the term is incorrectly used by both [[Organization XIII]] and the [[Villains]] to refer to who they mistakenly believe wields the sole Keyblade in existence, having called Sora this title numerous times.

===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Long before Aqua and Terra's exam, two young men, Eraqus and Xehanort, were both tested for the Mark of Mastery by their Master, [[Odin]]. They both passed, but Eraqus was chosen as their Master's successor.

All Keyblade Masters share the ability to extract the hearts of themselves or others, this is shown when Master Xehanort extracts the hearts of [[Aurora]] and himself. They can also extract part of the heart as well; for instance, Xehanort creates Vanitas from the extracted darkness from Ventus's heart;<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''''', '''Master Xehanort:''' "Empty creature from Ventus riven."</ref> though Vanitas claims he existed already.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''''', '''Vanitas:''' "I was just hidden deep inside of you, for a really long time. All Xehanort did...was tear me right out of you."</ref>

Keyblade Masters also have the ability to perform the [[Bequeathing]], a trial in which a person is chosen to inherit the power of the Keyblade by clutching the Keyblade in their hand and allowing it to accept them. This is shown when Terra performs it on Riku, and when it is accidentally performed on Kairi when she grasps [[Rainfell|Aqua's Keyblade]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Kairi use a Keyblade?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because she was touched by Aqua's Keyblade. The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade Master touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the Unversed in ''Birth by Sleep'' she grabbed Aqua's Keyblade, which performed the ceremony. That is why she is able to use a Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to help Sora."

But that's just a matter of whether or not he's achieved the official title. Even Eraqus recognised that Terra possessed suitable power to be a Master, which is why he was able to perform the rite for Riku."

In addition to performing the Bequeathing, Masters can conduct the Mark of Mastery exam upon potential Keyblade Masters. Although Yen Sid is a retired Master, he is still able to conduct the exam.
