For objects like treasure chests, this merely requires tapping the chest, while for more magical locks, the Keyblade generally operates by emitting a bright, thin beam of light from its tip, or by being thrust directly into the keyhole or person's chest.

In combat, Keyblades are wielded in the same way as swords, with the specific style varying with the wielder. Despite many Keyblades' apparent frailty or lack of a cutting edge, Keyblades are able to serve as both excellent blunt weapons and supernaturally precise cutting tools seemingly directed by the wielder's intent.<!--not clear if this is in-universe or just window-dressing:

Line 129:

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.

Keyblades seem to be a manifestation of their ~~wielder's~~ hearts and desires and can act upon these desires even when the user is incapacitated, or even in another world or realm entirely. When Aqua gave up hope and allowed herself to be destroyed in the Realm of Darkness, ~~Terra's~~ Earthshaker and ~~Ventus's~~ Wayward Wind came and destroyed the Darksides threatening her, protecting her without a wielder. Also, a Keyblade may appear for ~~it's weilder~~ in a time of need even if it is not consciously summoned, such as during ~~Roxas's~~ battles in the Simulated Twilight Town or when a large lock blocked ~~Sora's~~ path in the Underworld.
