Fire (ファイア Faia), Fira (ファイラ Faira), and Firaga (ファイガ Faiga) magic are attacks used by Sora, Donald, and other characters and enemies that utilize the element of Fire.
Uses
Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, using Fire magic will make Sora shoot a fireball straight forward from the tip of his Keyblade, and it has an MP cost of 1 Charge Gauge unit. The fireball has slight homing properties, meaning it can arch in any direction; however, the arch is rather large. In this game, Fire spells performed by Sora and Donald can only damage one enemy per use.
It is used by:
- Sora
- Donald
- Jack Skellington
- Genie
- Mushu
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, there is a Fire Magic card that can be used in many different Sleights:
- Fira
- Firaga
- Aqua Splash
- Firaga Break
- Fire Raid
- Homing Fira
- Mega Flare
- Blazing Donald
- Firaga Burst (Re:CoM only)
- Raging Storm (Re:CoM only)
Keyblades are given elemental properties in this game. Here are the ones with a Fire-based property:
- Lionheart
- One-Winged Angel
- Hidden Dragon (Re:CoM only)
- Bond of Flame (Re:CoM only)
Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, Fire acts as a shield that forms around Sora and attacks any enemies that comes in contact with it; useful until acquiring the Reflect spell. It is also useful for damaging numerous enemies that are gathered around Sora, a characteristic first given to the Thunder and Gravity spells in Kingdom Hearts.
The Reaction Command Firagun is considered by some to be an additional Fire spell, though it is only usable once in Agrabah and during the Hades Paradox Cup, in which the Volcanic Lord is hurled across the field. However, no fire is actually released in this attack.
There is a new ability in this game called Fire Boost, which increases the amount of damage done by Fire spells. It is also a passive ability from the Bond of Flame Keyblade.
It can be used by:
- Mulan
- Jack Skellington
- Leon (Assistant)
- Axel (Assistant)
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Fire magic is usable again in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, this time in the form of a panel. Depending on what other panels the Fire panel is linked to, the spell can vary in size, homing strength, and the number of fireballs released.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, it seems the Fire spell can be used as a fireball, and a shield. It also is part of a Mode Change.
