Magic is one of two forms of basic offense that [[Sora]] and many other characters can perform, the other being weapon-based attacks; although the use of magic is limited by the character's remaining MP, it is, in most cases, perceptibly more powerful than physical attacks, as well as capable of inflicting elemental damage. Party members who excel with magic include [[Donald Duck]], [[Jack Skellington]], and [[Zexion]]. Most summoned characters will use some form Magic as their primary form of attack. Summoning is regarded as a form of magic in the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', but is instead tied to the [[Drive Gauge]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', in which the number of summons is reduced from six to four.

Magical power is implied to be related to the user's intelligence, as noted by the descriptions of the [[Dream Rod]] and [[Struggle Bats|Struggle Wand]], as well as by the name of the [[Wisdom Form]]. Unlike standarc combat, which seems to be able to be mastered by practice alone, it appears that magic must be taught, learnt, and studied. Additionally, magic is shown to have various non-combat applications, including travelling between worlds and even through time, as evidenced when Merlin transports the party from [[Hollow Bastion]] to [[Disney Castle]] and then opens the door to [[Timeless River]], and to be broken when the caster is defeated, as evidenced when Maleficent's thorns disappear following her defeat in dragon form.

Magic is often associated with the colour blue, in which MP is shown in the status bar. In ''Kingdom Hearts'', there was an additional gold bar called overlapping the blue MP Meter to represent [[MP Recovery]], and which could be used as additional MP; in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', however, it does not appear, and, upon expending all of his MP, Sora must wait for the MP gauge to be fully refilled before he is able to cast magic again.
