'''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. | '''Darkness''' is a force parallel to [[Light]], and is also used in the form of attacks in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe.

Though darkness is mostly used by the series' villains, it is not entirely malevolent; friendly characters are able to use the powers of darkness to some effect, ranging from opening the [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]] to projecting dark energy blasts (one of [[Riku|Riku's]] [[Ability|abilities]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''). | Though darkness is mostly used by the series' villains, it is not entirely malevolent; friendly characters are able to use the powers of darkness to some effect, ranging from opening the [[Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]] to projecting dark energy blasts (one of [[Riku|Riku's]] [[Ability|abilities]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''). | ||
