Long before Aqua and Terra's exam, two young men, Eraqus and Xehanort, were both tested for the Mark of Mastery by their Master, [[Odin]]. They both passed, but Eraqus was chosen as their Master's successor.

All Keyblade Masters share the ability to extract the hearts of themselves or others, this is shown when Master Xehanort extracts the hearts of [[Aurora]] and himself. They can also extract part of the heart as well; for instance, Xehanort creates Vanitas from the extracted from Ventus's heart;<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''''', '''Master Xehanort:''' "Empty creature from Ventus riven."</ref> though Vanitas claims he existed already.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''''', '''Vanitas:''' "I was just hidden deep inside of you, for a really long time. All Xehanort did...was tear me right out of you."</ref>

Keyblade Masters also have the ability to perform the [[Bequeathing]], a trial in which a person is chosen to inherit the power of the Keyblade by clutching the Keyblade in their hand and allowing it to accept them. This is shown when Terra performs it on Riku, and when it is accidentally performed on Kairi when she grasps [[Rainfell|Aqua's Keyblade]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer:''' "Why can Kairi use a Keyblade?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Because she was touched by Aqua's Keyblade. The Keyblade inheritance ceremony is performed with a Keyblade Master touches someone using a Keyblade. When Kairi was running away from the Unversed in ''Birth by Sleep'' she grabbed Aqua's Keyblade, which performed the ceremony. That is why she is able to use a Keyblade in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' to help Sora."

But that's just a matter of whether or not he's achieved the official title. Even Eraqus recognised that Terra possessed suitable power to be a Master, which is why he was able to perform the rite for Riku."
