The Keyblade's | The Keyblade's signature ability is the power to open or close any lock or door, be it to a physical object, to the heart of a person or world, or to a [[gate]] or pathway between worlds. Throughout the series, Keyblades have to used to expose and seal the hearts of worlds, to open both mundane locks and paths to or through the sea between worlds, or to lock, unlock, or extract people's hearts. This is typically achieved through a bright, thin beam of light emitted from the Keyblade, but the Keyblade may also be physically thrust into a keyhole or, in the case of a person's heart, into one's chest. | ||
<!--Their ability to unlock a person's heart makes them particularly effective weapons against [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]], but also draws these beings to the wielders. Meanwhile, their power over a world's heart allows a wielder to open or seal the barriers between worlds, or even lock the world's heart to protect it from darkness. Keyblades usually exercise this power by emitting a bright, thin beam of light, but can also work by being directly impaled into a person's chest.--> | |||

Keyblades can also be used to channel the powers of light or darkness.{{fact}}<!--explain better--> | |||
A trained Keyblade wielder can also transform their Keyblade, changing its size and shape. This can be used to augment its use as a weapon, or to transform the Keyblade into a vehicle form, known as a "[[Keyblade Glider]]". | |||
A Keyblade wielder can attach a [[Keychain]] or [[Gear]] to their Keyblade to transform it into a particular form, affecting both its design and abilities. Equipping a Keychain also changes the effect generated when the Keyblade is summoned; this effect is generally based on the Keychain's symbolism. | |||
