Summon

Summons are beings that are magically called out and aid Sora, they are obtained by giving summon stones to Fairy Godmother in Kingdom Hearts. In Kingdom Hearts II, Summons give Sora their very own amulet or charms which he can use to summon them. All summons are also the victims of the Heartless' quest to destroy worlds. As explained by the Fairy Godmother, the summoning gems are the person's crystallized being that have not fallen victim to the darkness and destruction of their worlds, and are able to be called into battle for a limited time.

It is unknown if the summoning mechanics are different in Kingdom Hearts II due to the presence of Peter Pan as a summon, whose world's keyhole was sealed so his world should not have been destroyed like Simba's or Mushu's. It could be due to the fact that now the summons are charms instead of gems. The gems in the first Kingdom Hearts were actually the hearts of strong, good-hearted denizens of destroyed worlds which the darkness could not destroy. The charms could just be used to actually call them to battle instead of give them their body back and be able to help in battle.

In the Kingdom Hearts series all summons have been Disney character (with the exception of Cloud in KH:CoM). In Kingdom Hearts the summon menu is located within the magic menu but in Kingdom Hearts II it was moved on to the command menu because of the inclusion of a second menu. In Kingdom Hearts II, summons no longer require Magic to be summoned but they now use the Drive Gauge instead.
