Blazing

Blazing (燃え上がる), also translated as "Blaze" in Kingdom Hearts, is a material type available in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Blazing materials contain the essence of fire, and are colored red.

Design
Blazing materials are represented by bright red jewels with what seem to be tongues of flame trapped in them. They have an Elemental material structure.

A "blaze" is a fast-burning fire that produces a great deal of flame and light. This reflects the "essence of fire" the material contains, as well as the flames the material has in it.
