Soothing

Soothing, also translated as "Bright", is a material type introduced in . Bright materials contain the essence of vitality and are associated with Cure and Water magic. In Kingdom Hearts they are used as normal synthesis items, while in Kingdom Hearts II they are "modifier" materials that can be added to a recipe of the same rank to double the experience that it will give to the Moogle, and are usable once the Moogle reaches level 2, Novice Moogle. In Kingdom Hearts II, once all Bright materials are obtained the Moogle will reward Sora with a Defense Boost.

Design
Soothing materials are represented by green jewels with light green particles resembling bubbles in them. They have a Modifier material structure.

"Bright" means "luminous" or "colorful". The bubbles in the material may be a reference to its original Japanese name, "Moisture".
