Malice (マーシリス Māshirisu?, lit. "Merciless") is a pair of Ethereal Blades that can be wielded by Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It is Xemnas's basic weapon, and therefore requires no Gears to be attached to him in order to wield it. In appearance, Malice is light gray, symbolizing that it is the most basic of all of Xemnas's weapons through the use of achromatic colors.
