Fire

Fire (ファイア), Fira (ファイラ), and Firaga (ファイガ) 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. In all of its appearances, Fire unleashes flames to incinerate foes, however, the specific execution of the spell differ between games. It is the first spell introduced in the series.

Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, the Fire spell launches a single fireball with slight homing properties from the tip of the Keyblade at the cost of one Charge Gauge unit. Owing to the potential wideness of its arc, the Fire spell is of somewhat limited usefulness when used at long range. It can only damage one enemy per use.

The summon Genie has access to any magic Sora has already learned, including the Fire spell. When summoned, Mushu allows the player to unleash a rapid stream of fireballs.

Characters who cast Fire magic in Kingdom Hearts:
 * Sora
 * Donald
 * Jack Skellington
 * Genie
 * Mushu

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the Fire spell makes an appearance as a Magic card that can be used in many different Sleights, most of which are Fire-elemental.

As a magic card, Fire can also be used within the following sleights.

Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, the Fire spell creates a ring of flame that surrounds the caster to inflict damage on nearby enemies. Sora cannot move while casting this spell unless a drive form is active. This spell is generally regarded as useful only before acquiring Reflect, which surpasses it in both offensive and defensive 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. Its usefulness is greatest when a drive form is active, at which time Sora is able to move about whilst casting the spell, allowing him to damage a wide swath of enemies with it.

Characters who cast Fire magic in Kingdom Hearts II:
 * Sora
 * Donald
 * Mulan
 * Jack Skellington
 * Leon (Assistant)
 * Axel (Assistant)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Fire magic is usable again in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, appearing alongside its upgraded forms as a magic panel. Uniquely, each tier of the spell causes a different effect rather than building on its predecessor. All three fire spells may set enemies on fire, an effect which slowly depletes their health.

The basic Fire spell releases the familiar homing fireball, which, as in the original, may only inflict damage on the first target it hits.

The second-tier Fira instead shoots a ball of fire that flies straight forwards and explodes on contact, breaking through the enemy's defense.

The third-tier Firaga launches a large ball of fire into the air, after which it descends, again given slight homing properties, and then explodes upon making contact with the ground or a target.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the Fire spell is similar to its form in the original Kingdom Hearts, in which it shoots a fireball with homing properties. The upgraded forms Fira and Firaga are available through Command Melding. There exist, additionally, multiple fire-based Deck Commands, including both new and recurring techniques and magic, the use of which may trigger the Command Style Firestorm after it is unlocked. In the Dwarf Woodlands, Fire magic may be used to boil water in order to bubbles that allow access to higher areas.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, Aqua is seen casting Firaga to repel the Unnamed Heartless's attack.
