Intending to sabotage Terra and Aqua's Mark of Mastery exam in accordance with his plot to reforge the χ-blade, Xehanort extended his apologies to Eraqus and requested to be present for the examination; this ended the feud between Xehanort and Eraqus.

When he visits the [[Destiny Islands]], Terra performs the [[Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony]], granting a young boy named [[Riku]] the ability to one day wield the Keyblade himself. Aqua accidentally does this with [[Kairi]] in [[Radiant Garden]]; she initially intends to perform the ceremony and grant Riku's friend Sora the ability to wield the Keyblade, but Aqua decides against this when she senses that Riku already can. When Ventus's and Sora's hearts become one following the defeat of Vanitas and the destruction of the χ-blade, however, Sora gains the potential to wield the Keyblade as well.

The Keyblade only lets a chosen wielder hold it, but those with the strength of heart to wield a Keyblade are able to give or take them from others, or take control of them if they have been abandoned. Those incapable of wielding a Keyblade cannot keep it, even if a wielder hands it to them. A wielder is able to summon or dispel their Keyblades at will; however, it is implied that one can only wield a single Keyblade at a time, even if they have possession of more than one. The exceptions to this rule are Sora and Roxas, who can wield two Keyblades at once and channel both their abilities, due to Sora harboring Ventus's heart.

It is also possible for a wielder at the level of a Master to choose someone of a strong enough heart as their successor. This is often done through the [[Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony]], but can also be performed informally when the wielder lets a candidate touch their Keyblade, or if their hearts link together.

In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra chose Riku to be his successor, while Aqua accidentally made Kairi a successor when the child touched Aqua's Keyblade. Aqua originally considered choosing Sora to be her successor, but decided against it because Terra had already performed the ritual on Riku, and she did not want to cause the two to fight. However, Sora nonetheless gained the ability to use the Keyblade when Ventus's heart fused with his own.
