===Magic Points (MP)===

[[File:Magic Gauge KHII.png|right|thumb|The MP Gauge in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', representing Sora's magic capacity.]]

'''Magic Points''', or '''MP''', represents a character's ability to cast [[magic]] and use certain active abilities in ''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', and ''Kingdom Hearts III''. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items like [[Ether]]s and [[Elixir]]s, or with some abilities. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', the maximum MP determines the strength of magic spells, such as the amount of damage inflicted by magic, the amount of HP restored by Cure, or the length of Aero, though ~~other~~ games have this instead be determined by a separate Magic stat.

Later games have this instead be determined by a separate Magic stat.

A character's current and maximum MP are indicated on-screen by the blue [[MP gauge]], which appears alongside their HP gauge.

====Boosting maximum MP====

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', maximum MP may increase upon leveling up. Additionally, equipping some accessories and weapons can boost, or in some cases lower, maximum MP. Sora's initial maximum MP will be 3 if he chooses the [[Dream Rod]] in the [[Dive to the Heart]], and 2 otherwise.

Sora's initial maximum MP will be 3 if he chooses the [[Dream Rod]] in the [[Dive to the Heart]], and 2 otherwise. In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', by using certain keychains at low levels and/or selecting something other than the Dream Rod in the Dive to the Heart, Sora's maximum MP can be reduced to 1 or even zero. In ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', Sora's maximum MP is 19 if the Dream Rod was selected, or 17 otherwise, after reaching a very high level and equipping three accessories that increase maximum MP by 2.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', maximum MP will be increased by gaining [[Bonus Level]]s.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', maximum MP will be increased by gaining [[Bonus Level]]s. Sora's MP starts at 100, each Bonus Level MP increase increases Sora's maximum MP by 10, and after acquiring all Bonus Level MP increases, MP will max out at 140. On Critical Mode, each increase only improves MP by 5 and it will max at 120.
