Shimmering, also called Shiny and Dazzling, is a material type introduced in Kingdom Hearts. Shimmering materials contain the essence of fire, ice, and thunder combined.

In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Shimmering materials can be use during Command Meld to attach abilities that modify damage due to elemental attributes.

Design

Shimmering materials are colored in a mix of lavender, cyan, and a touch of teal, with white sparkles near the center. A Shimmering Crystal consists of a large star-shaped jewel, with a smaller facet cut jewel at the bottom, and a diamond-shaped jewel on either side.

The material's name refers to the sparkles present on the material.
