====Time Travel====
It is possible to travel through time, though only if a person casts their heart from their [[body]], or by using the ark from [[Daybreak Town]]. Those traveling to the future must have someone with memories of their existence and a medium to gain a body. [[Maleficent]] was able to regain her body when the three good fairies encountered what was left of her at Yen Sid's Tower. The Union leaders and Ventus were able to travel into the future due to the memories provided by [[Luxu]] and his [[No Name]] Keyblade as a medium to gain physical forms. [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] was able to travel to the past due to the nature of his Heartless status and gift his younger self the ability to time travel and collect hearts throughout the timelines for his future self’s plan.

In the case of the heart method, only the user's heart travels through time. To remain in the destination time period, the user must have a body at the destination that they can occupy (such as a [[Replica]]), or must otherwise be in a state that does not require a body (such as being a Heartless). If the body occupied is destroyed, or if the user's heart is otherwise forced out of it, then the user will be pulled back to their original time period, with no memories of their time travel. However, their experience will still be engraved in their heart, and may subconsciously influence their actions in their original time period.
 
It is possible to travel both backwards and forwards in time with the heart method, and the power to time travel can also be granted to other versions of oneself. [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] was able to travel to the past due to the nature of his Heartless status, and gift his younger self the ability to time travel. The latter then used this power to collect hearts throughout time, for his future self’s plan.
 
In the case of the ark method, the user's entire self travels through time - heart, body, and soul. To arrive at a destination time, there must be someone at the destination with memories of the user's existence, and a medium with which the user can gain a body. [[Maleficent]] was able to regain her body when the three good fairies encountered her cloak at Yen Sid's Tower. The Union leaders and Ventus were able to travel into the future due to the memories provided by [[Luxu]], and his [[No Name]] Keyblade as a medium to gain physical forms.
 
The ark method has thus far only been used to travel forward in time, so it is unknown if it can be used to travel backwards. It is also unknown if the power of time travel can be gifted to another version of oneself through the ark method.
