The Keyblade's signature ability is the power to open or close any lock or door, be it to a physical object, to the heart of a person or world, or to a [[gate]] or pathway between worlds. 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. | The Keyblade's signature ability is the power to open or close any lock or door<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Hades''': "Let me see if I got this right...

<!--Their ability to unlock a person's heart makes them particularly effective weapons against [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]], but also draws these beings to the wielders. Meanwhile, their power over a world's heart allows a wielder to open or seal the barriers between worlds, or even lock the world's heart to protect it from darkness. Keyblades usually exercise this power by emitting a bright, thin beam of light, but can also work by being directly impaled into a person's chest.--> | <!--Their ability to unlock a person's heart makes them particularly effective weapons against [[Heartless]] and [[Nobody|Nobodies]], but also draws these beings to the wielders.

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. Keyblades are especially effective against creatures connected to hearts or darkness, including the [[Heartless]], [[Nobody|Nobodies]], [[Unversed]] and [[Dream Eater]]s. | In combat, Keyblades are wielded in the same way as swords, with the specific style varying with the wielder.

Keyblades are natural conduits for magic; even Keyblade wielders without formal training are able to perform magic with power rivaling that of expert mages. Keyblades may also be imbued with magic for a variety of effects, including allowing the wielder to inflict greater damage or deal elemental damage to enemies. Keyblades can also be used to channel the powers of light or darkness.{{fact}}<!--explain better--> | Keyblades are natural conduits for magic; even Keyblade wielders without formal training are able to perform magic with power rivaling that of expert mages.
