{{nihongo|'''Thunder'''|サンダー|Sandā}}, {{nihongo|'''Thundara'''|サンダラ|Sandara}}, and {{nihongo|'''Thundaga'''|サンダガ|Sandaga}} [[magic]] are spells that appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. They utilize the element of Lightning, and are associated with the [[Lightning]] material, despite their name. Thunder spells summon lightning bolts from the sky to rain down on their target.
{{/Infobox}}
'''Thunder''', '''Thundara''', and '''Thundaga''' are a series of [[magic]] introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. They utilize the element of Lightning, and are associated with the [[Lightning]] material. Thunder spells summon lightning bolts from the sky to rain down on enemies, dealing {{c|Thunder|element}}-type damage.
 
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', '''Thundaza''', also translated as '''Thundaja''', appears as an even more powerful tier.

[[File:Thundaga KHBBS.gif|frame|right|Aqua using Thundaga in the [[Radiant Garden]]]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Thunder is offensive magic that can be used by [[Sora]] and [[Donald Duck|Donald]]. Thunder calls down bolts of lightning to strike the target area. It is useful for hitting a group of enemies a distance. The higher-tier Thundara and Thundaga call down greater numbers of more powerful lightning bolts. Thunder costs 1 [[MP]] to use.
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.
[[Genie]] may cast Thunder as part of his [[Showtime]] ability.


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 magic can be used to activate certain objects in the field, including the exposed wires in the [[Third District]] that activate the platforms inside the [[Gizmo Shop]], certain kind of flowers in Wonderland, and the stone tablet on the upper level of the {{c|Entrance Hall|HB}} that activates the moving platforms.<!--anything else?-->

Keyblades are sometimes given elemental properties in this game. Thunder-elemental keyblades appearing in this game are as follows:
===''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''===
* [[Spellbinder]]
[[File:Thundaja KH0.2.gif|thumb|Aqua activating her Thundaja spell in ''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-''.]]
* [[Photon Debugger]]{{ReCoM}}
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'', Thundaga is a default offensive spell that summons a cluster of lightning strikes at the targeted enemy, inflicting damage to anything caught in the radius.


===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
Repeatedly casting Thundaga results in the Thundaja [[Situation Command]], in which Aqua creates a hail of stronger lightning bolts that shock the entire area around her.
[[File:Thundaga KHII.gif|thumb|right|Sora using Thundaga]]
{{-}}
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.
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Thunder magic works much the same way as in ''0.2''. Thunder, Thundara, and Thundaga are magic spells that unleash a cluster of lightning strikes at the targeted enemy, dealing {{c|Thunder|element}} damage to all enemies in the surrounding area. Enemies hit by Thunder magic will be inflicted with the Electrified status effect, with Thunder inflicting it for 5 seconds, Thundara for 7 seconds, and Thundaga and Thundaza for 10 seconds. The area and intensity of the lightning strikes varies depending on the tier used. Thunder consumes 14 MP, Thundara 20 MP, and Thundaga 28 MP. Repeatedly casting Thundaga in battle can result in the Thundaza [[Situation Command]], which summons a larger and more intense thunderstorm.


Characters who cast Thunder magic in ''Kingdom Hearts II'':
===''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
* [[Sora]]
In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]'', Thunder and Thundaga are magic {{c|abilities|dr}} that deal {{c|Lightning|element}} damage.
* [[Donald Duck|Donald]]
* [[Jack Skellington]]
* [[Tron]]


===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
===''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory''===
[[File:Thundaga KHD.gif|thumb|Roxas using Thundaga]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory'', Thundaga is an Ability used by Sora. It is triggered when activating an Ability Crystal against an airborne foe, and consists of Sora casting a single thunderbolt on the enemy.
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 coded]]''===
During the final battle against [[Master Xehanort]], Sora has Thundaga as an Ability that may trigger when activating an Ability Crystal. As in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Sora casts a hail of thunderbolts on the enemy.
In ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', the Thunder license may be used from the Hero's License.
 
===''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''===
[[File:Thundaga REC.gif|thumb|Data-Sora using Thundaga]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', Thunder summons multiple lightning bolts to hit the surrounding area.
*[[File:Thunder KHREC.png]] '''Thunder''': It costs 12% of memory, has 10 seconds of reload time and 8 seconds of overspec reload time.
*[[File:Thunder KHREC.png]] '''Thundara''': It costs 15% of memory, has 12 seconds of reload time and 11 seconds of overspec reload time.

==Learning Thunder==
==Learning Thunder==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Thunder, Thundara and Thundaga can be gained from various chests within the game. The spells can also be made using [[Command Meld]].
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
===''Kingdom Hearts''===
'''Thunder''': Learned after completing [[Philoctetes|Phil]]'s barrel challenge. Power = (Max MPx2)+14.<br />
Sora and Donald learn Thunder by obtaining the power of thunder. Obtaining additional power advances Thunder to Thundara and Thundaga.
'''Thundara''': Upgraded after defeating the giant [[Ursula]]. Power = (Max MPx2)+18.<br />
'''Thundaga''': Upgraded after defeating [[Cerberus]] in the [[Hades Cup]]. Power = (Max MPx2)+22.<br />


*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]].
Sora and Donald obtain the power of thunder:
*After completing [[Phil's Training]].
*After defeating the giant [[Ursula]].
*After defeating [[Cerberus]] in the [[Hades Cup]].

Thunder, Thundara, and Thundaga are a series of magic introduced in Kingdom Hearts. They utilize the element of Lightning, and are associated with the Lightning material. Thunder spells summon lightning bolts from the sky to rain down on enemies, dealing Thunder-type damage.

Genie may cast Thunder as part of his Showtime ability.

Thunder magic can be used to activate certain objects in the field, including the exposed wires in the Third District that activate the platforms inside the Gizmo Shop, certain kind of flowers in Wonderland, and the stone tablet on the upper level of the Entrance Hall that activates the moving platforms.
