Cure

Cure (ケアル), Cura (ケアルラ), and Curaga (ケアルガ) magic are spells used by Sora, Donald, and other characters and enemies that utilize the element of plants. Cure magic makes the target recover an amount of lost HP.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Cure Magic returns in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. The effects are similar to the first Kingdom Hearts in that they only heal the caster. Cure is a flash of green light with two rotating balls of light above the caster. Cura is a burst of colorful petals and leaves. Curaga creates a giant orange flower over the caster as petals and green light swirl around the caster.

Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, Cure restores a little HP to one character; Cura restores a lot of HP to one character; Curaga restores a massive amount of HP to one character. It costs 1 MP bar to use. Cure infuses the caster with greenish light and three petals appear above them and float down. Cura causes two rings of clovers to rotate above the casters head and then infuses the caster with them. Curaga creates four large, yellow, bell shaped flowers to appear over the caster which showers them with golden magic. Characters who cast Cure magic in Kingdom Hearts:
 * Sora
 * Donald
 * Tarzan
 * Ariel
 * Tinker Bell

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, there is a Cure Magic card that can be used in a few different Sleights:


 * Cura
 * Curaga
 * Synchro

Other characters have connections to the Cure spell. Marluxia, Number XI of Organization XIII, wields the element of flower, which appears to be the inverse of the Cure spell, as it induces a gradual death as opposed to healing, evidenced by his boss fights. Tinker Bell, in contrast, summons cards with a similar effect of Cure magic to heal Sora when summoned.

Donald uses Curaga on Sora after he is attacked by Larxene.

Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, Cure magic is much more powerful and nearly always fully heals its target as well as allies within the proximity of the deployment. Cure magic further gains an increasingly large area of effect as the spell's level increases; however it also consumes all of the user's MP in one casting. Cure creates a burst of leaves above the caster and two sprouts of water drops descend in a spiral around the caster and any allies in range. Cura causes vines and clovers to swirl around and up anyone in range. Curaga creates three yellow flowers above the caster that showers the caster in petals as well as a flurry of petals all around them, while any allies in range are surrounded in petals and circled by a vine covered in sprouts.

Curaga also appears in the story; During the Heartless invasion of Hollow Bastion, Aerith is shown using Curaga off-screen to heal an exhausted Yuffie.

Characters who cast Cure magic in Kingdom Hearts II:

 * Simba
