Terra cheered him up, performing a mock Bequeathing, in which he recited the mantra and passed his [[Wooden Keyblade]] on to Ventus. | Some time before the [[Mark of Mastery exam]], when [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]] were still training together, Ventus felt down about losing to Terra in a mock battle.

The Bequeathing is unintentionally performed when Aqua visits [[Radiant Garden]] and comes across a young [[Kairi]], who was being attacked by a swarm of [[Flood]]s.

Aqua also had the intention of performing the ritual with [[Sora]] when she met him in [[Destiny Islands]], but she noticed that Terra had already made it with [[Riku]].

The Bequeathing is intentionally and correctly performed by Terra when he meets a young Riku on the Destiny Islands. Seeing himself through the boy, someone who would do anything to protect his friends, Terra proceeds to select Riku as an inheritor. Many years later, this showed that Sora was not originally the [[Kingdom Key]]'s original chosen wielder when he received it, and that it was actually the Keyblade that chose Riku due to the Bequeathing that Terra performed on him.<ref>'''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania#Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania|''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania]]''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why was Riku chosen as the original wielder of the keyblade?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because he was chosen by Terra to inherit.

Sora, who was squirming in the darkness to save Riku, touched the light and temporarily obtained the Keyblade from Riku."
