{{nihongo|'''Thunder'''|サンダー|Sandā}}, {{nihongo|'''Thundara'''|サンダラ|Sandara}}, and {{nihongo|'''Thundaga'''|サンダガ|Sandaga}} [[magic]] are offensive spells used by [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and other characters and enemies associated with the element of lightning. Although named "Thunder", lightning is actually used, not thunder itself.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''===

Thunder is used much differently than its other incarnations. The user casts a ring of lightning around them, and any enemies inside the ring are struck by lightning. However with advanced Thunder spells such as Thundara and Thundaga, the ring grows larger and the effect of the jolt on the enemy's HP grows stronger.  

It is available to all three characters.

Another spell exclusive to Aqua and similar to Thunder is called [[Thundaga Shot]], which causes a ball of revolving Thunder energy to hover across the battle area and hit an enemy, causing a ring of thunder to appear around the target. This spell is basically Thundaga with an aiming addition.

Thunder was the first magic ability seen, where it was used by Donald to awaken a sleeping [[Goofy]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Thunder was a more powerful and also more costly spell than Fire or Blizzard, summoning a barrage of lightning bolts from above to strike the surrounding enemies at the cost of 1 MP bar.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'', Thunder appears as a magic card that can be used in the following sleights:

Keyblades are sometimes given elemental properties in this game. Thunder-elemental keyblades appearing in this game are as follows:

* [[Spellbinder]]

* [[Photon Debugger]]{{ReCoM}}

===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Thunder is approximately equal to the other base elemental spells [[Fire]] and [[Blizzard]] in power. Thunder has decreased in power in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as opposed to Fire and Blizzard, which have increased in power from their incarnations in ''Kingdom Hearts''. The spell summons a single lightning bolt to strike an enemy and an area-of-effect that is expanded with each upgrade.

A new ability, Thunder Boost, appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' increases the amount of damage caused by lightning-elemental spells. Although it may be learned by leveling up, it is also a passive ability acquired when equipping the Photon Debugger keyblade.

Characters who cast Thunder magic in ''Kingdom Hearts II'':

* [[Sora]]

* [[Donald Duck|Donald]]

* [[Jack Skellington]]

* [[Tron]]

===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Thunder sends out a straight line of lightning before the caster. Thundara resembles Thunder magic as it appears in ''Kingdom Hearts'', in which lightning strikes randomly around the caster for a brief period of time. Thundaga invokes a single, enormous bolt of lightning to strike the target.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', Thunder summons multiple lightning bolts to hit the surrounding area.  

*'''Thunder''': It costs 12% of memory and has 10 seconds of reload time.

*'''Thundara''': It costs 15% of memory and has 12 seconds of reload time.

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

*Note: Though the Olympus Coliseum tournaments are not needed to go through the storyline, a second-tier spell may not be acquired before the first-tier. When acquiring any sort of Magic for the first time, the player receives the first-tier spell in lieu of the upgrade that would normally be acquired. Because Olympus Coliseum and Atlantica can both be skipped in ''Kingdom Hearts'', Thunder is one of three spells that can be missed entirely in-game, the others being [[Stop]] and [[Gravity]].
