| '''Light''' is a force parallel to [[Darkness]], a strong element used in [[Synthesis item|Synthesis items]], and may also be used as an attack in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe. Although often associated with the forces of good, light is not entirely benevolent; [[Xemnas]] uses [[Roxas]]' power over light against [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] in his last stand. Light is also one of the four known realms of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe called the [[Realm of Light]], along with the [[Realm of In Between]], [[Realm of Darkness]] and the [[Realm of Nothingness]].

| ==Light in the Story==
| |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts''===
| |
| [[File:Kingdom Key.png|thumb|220px|A Keyblade, used by chosen wielders of light.]]
| |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', the roles of light and darkness play very typical roles as in most games, with light being good, and darkness being bad. Since the [[Keyblade]] is a "light" weapon and the entire quest is about closing the [[Door to Darkness]] and eliminating pitch-black [[Heartless]] creatures, the entire story is very biased in a light direction. The reference is given many times about light is that there is always "a light in the deepest darkness", and this plays a role many times in the story, including when [[Sora]] opens the door to darkness, and finds a blinding light inside with [[King Mickey]]. Even through all of the bias towards light, it is still balanced with a closed [[Door to Light]] and a closed [[Door to Darkness]]. There are also two Keyblades, one from the [[Realm of Light]], which is used by Sora, and one from the [[Realm of Darkness]], which is used by [[King Mickey]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''===
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Light does not play as much of a role in Sora's game, since the main enemy is [[Organization XIII]], not darkness, as it is in most of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts series]]''.
| |
| | |
| The most major story development about light in the story is Riku's constant struggle throughout the game, with him against the darkness in his heart. He tries to shun the darkness and [[Xehanort's Heartless]] out of him, but he cannot do it, with "Ansem" taunting him that darkness is his destiny. [[Riku]] finally finds a revelation in himself when he talks with Mickey after being "blinded" by [[Zexion]], who is being disguised as Sora. Riku finds that darkness is not bad, and he should use it along with light to help defeat his enemies, and give him more power. This changes Riku, and "Ansem", thinking that Riku has turned to the darkness, mockingly tells him that he was right about Riku's destiny. Riku fights "Ansem" and destroys him, but he is still in Riku's body, after Riku declines [[Naminé|Naminé's]] offer to seal "Ansem" away in Riku's heart along with his memories of the castle. Then, at the end of the story, Riku says, after being asked by [[DiZ]], that he is taking the road to the Dawn, or going from darkness to light. This also gives him his [[Way to the Dawn|Keyblade]] with it's respective name.

| ==Special Uses of Light==
| |

| |
| | |
| Light can also be manipulated into attacks by some beings within the ''Kingdom Hearts'' universe, most notably being [[Sora]] and his [[Nobody]]: [[Roxas]]. Similar to members of [[Organization XIII]]'s usage of their respective elements, these two are able to physically call and wield the element of Light to their aid. Roxas's Light powers, however, are significantly more advanced than Sora's; he is capable of creating spears and force fields out of Light, while Sora only seems to be capable of using it to augment a select few of his combo finishers; however, he also can call to his power of Light in one of his [[Drive Forms]]: [[Final Form]], during which he can use fighting techniques similar to those that Roxas could use.
| |
| | |
| [[Sora]]'s [[Keyblade]], the [[Kingdom Key]], is a Light-aligned Keyblade. Other notable Light-aligned Keyblades are [[Kairi's Keyblade]] and [[Way to the Dawn]].
| |
| | |
| On multiple occasions throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, characters have been able to wield Light in unique manners not similar to those above. Most notable are the [[Princesses of Heart]], who are able to use their inner Light to help those in need. For example, [[Kairi]] is able to use the Light in her [[Heart]] during the confusion at [[Hollow Bastion]] following Sora's sacrifice to return his heart to him, during the events of ''Kingdom Hearts''.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Sora is able to open the "Door to Light" in the [[Realm of Darkness]], at the [[Dark Meridian]]. By using his own heart, Sora was able to return himself and [[Riku]] to the [[Realm of Light]] on [[Destiny Islands]].
| |
| | |
| It should also be noted that [[Queen Minnie]] has limited control over Light; it is seen with her "Limit"/[[Reaction Command]] with Sora, [[Faith]].
| |
