===Creation=== | |||
The original [[χ-blade]]'s existence was intimately linked with the existence of the true Kingdom Hearts, and so it was destroyed along with Kingdom Hearts in the first Keyblade War. Though Master Xehanort's research suggested that it can be reforged by fusing a heart of pure light with one of pure darkness, he later concludes that the χ-blade can be truly restored only by uniting seven hearts of pure light with thirteen hearts of pure darkness.- | |||
The lesser [[Keyblade of heart]], whose existence opens a path to Kingdom Hearts, can be forged from the union of seven hearts of pure light. | |||
The method for forging a regular Keyblade is not entirely clear, although several newly-forged Keyblades do appear in the series. Riku's Keyblade, the [[Way to the Dawn]], was able to manifest by using his [[Soul Eater]] as an intermediary, while [[Data-Sora]]'s strength of his heart allowed him to create a true Keyblade after his artificial, digital Keyblade was destroyed by Maleficent. | |||
===Early history=== | ===Early history=== | ||
Long before the events of the [[Dark Seeker Saga]], in the "age of fairy tales" when the world was whole, [[Kingdom Hearts]] gave light to the world. However, it remained out of mankind's reach, as it was protected by its counterpart, the [[χ-blade]]. Eventually, many came to desire the light, and their greed and jealousy introduced darkness into the World. In order to conquer the light of Kingdom Hearts, people forged the first Keyblades in the image of the χ-blade, and they clashed with each other in a great [[Keyblade War]] that involved those who served the light, those who served the darkness, those who sought balance, and those who simply sought power. The conflict embroiled even those who did not desire Kingdom Hearts and took the lives of thousands; it also extinguished the light from the world and trapped Kingdom Hearts in the deepest darkness. The final site of the Keyblade War became the barren [[Keyblade Graveyard]], littered with ancient Keyblades. | Long before the events of the [[Dark Seeker Saga]], in the "age of fairy tales" when the world was whole, [[Kingdom Hearts]] gave light to the world.

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. | 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.

===Appearance=== | |||
All Keyblades share the same fundamental features, modeled after a key: a guard with a handle, a hilt, and a head at the end of the shaft that resembles the teeth of a skeleton key. The exception is the [[Fenrir]], which is instead modeled after a {{w|pin tumbler lock}} key. | |||

Master Xehanort is the primary antagonist of the "[[Xehanort Saga]]", but makes his appearance through a variety of incarnations, most of which can wield the Keyblade. He himself is a Keyblade Master who plans to restart the [[Keyblade War]]; his hybrid form [[Terra-Xehanort]] has the same abilities, but is inflicted with amnesia soon after creation and forgets how to use them until shortly before he splits himself into a Heartless, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], and a Nobody, [[Xemnas]]. While Ansem is implied to have required [[Riku]]'s body to wield the [[Keyblade of heart]], series-creator [[Tetsuya Nomura]] has hinted that Xemnas had the ability but intentionally did not exploit it.{{fact}}<!--<ref>'''[http://forums.khinsider.com/spoilers/147009-bbs-ultimania-plot-mysteries-nomura-interview.html Nomura Interview]''' "It's possible that Xemnas intentionally wasn't using a Keyblade"</ref>--> Master Xehanort's youthful, time-travelling "[[Young Xehanort]]" identity can also wield the Keyblade as well as weapons similar to [[Ethereal Blades]], and [[No Heart]], a data simulation of Xehanort in his [[Keyblade Armor]], wields a data simulation of [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade]]. | Master Xehanort is the primary antagonist of the "[[Xehanort Saga]]", but makes his appearance through a variety of incarnations, most of which can wield the Keyblade.
