'''Darkness''' is a force parallel to [[Light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Darkness has been known to cause the loss of people's hearts if they have delved too deep into it. Slowly suppressed and conquered by darkness's influence, these unfortunate souls become [[Heartless]] and, if their [[Heart]] is strong enough, leave behind a body that becomes a [[Nobody]]. Those who follow the path of Darkness will usually gain untold power at the expense of something of their former selves. The [[Realm of Darkness]] is also one of the three known realms in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, along with the [[Realm Between]], and the [[Realm of Light]]. | '''Darkness''' is a force parallel to [[Light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe.

While darkness is often associated with evil, it can be used for the force of good. If one can accept darkness into themselves without allowing the darkness to consume them, they may wield its powers without succumbing to its influences (as in Riku's situation). | While darkness is often associated with evil, it can be used for the force of good.

Darkness creates and feeds off of primal emotions such as revenge, hate, greed, and fear. In the process, it makes those it affects experience and exhibit these feelings while constantly making those feelings stronger, eventually leading to the affected becoming a Heartless. Darkness can also change the physical appearance of those it affects, up to such extremes as a normal person becoming a [[Shadow]] and Riku taking on the form of [[Riku-Ansem|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. If one relies too heavily on the powers Darkness gives them, it will swallow their hearts in a matter of time as Riku almost lost his heart from using Corridors of Darkness frequently. | Darkness creates and feeds off of primal emotions such as revenge, hate, greed, and fear.
