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
In Kingdom Hearts, Cure acts very much like a Potion; Cura acts very much like a Hi-Potion; Curaga acts very much like a Mega-Potion. It costs 1 MP bar to use.

Donald Duck, Tarzan and Ariel can cast Cure magic as well. The summons Tinker Bell and Bambi can help heal Sora when summoned into battle. In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Goofy uses an ability called Evolution that acts like Cure magic.

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

Both Bambi and Tinker Bell summons cards use Cure magic to heal Sora when summoned.

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.

Donald Duck, Auron, Simba and Riku can all use Cure magic. Tinker Bell appears alongside Peter Pan in his summon where she heals Sora.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Cure heals about 30%-40% of damage. Cura has a Regen effect, where the caster gains life over time. Curaga creates a circle that rapidly heals the user as long as they stay inside it.

 * Pete (to a certain extent)
 * Yuffie

Other Uses

Trivia

 * 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.
 * During the Heartless Invasion of Hollow Bastion, Aerith is shown using Curaga off-screen to heal an exhausted Yuffie.
