source: http://www.khinsider.com/news/Birth-by-Sleep-Plot-Mysteries-Interview-1364-- The Keyblade succession can only be performed by a Keyblade Master, but we see Terra performing this rite with Riku - does this mean we can consider Terra a Keyblade Master?
Nomura: No. Terra was not awarded that title by his Master Eraqus, so no matter how Master Xehanort flatters him he is not a Keyblade Master. But that's just a matter of whether or not he's achieved the official title. Even Eraqus recognised that Terra possessed suitable power to be a Master, which is why he was able to perform the rite for Riku.
If Jack was able to hold the keyblade without it disappearing into Sora's hand, then yes. He would be able to wield. But he couldn't so Jack can't become a keyblade wielder.
Actually the keyblade did leave Leons hand, though it stayed a fair amount of seconds before disappearing on him.In KH1, Leon took hold of the Keyblade and it didn't disappear; he inspected it for a while and even tossed it back to Sora.
Not necessarily. As Anagram stated, the bequeathing has to be performed by a Keyblade Master or someone of a Keyblade Master's level, such as Terra when he performed the ritual on Riku. Sora wasn't a master at that time and still isn't, which means Jack Sparrow will not be able to wield the Keyblade regardless of it having stayed or not.
In KH1, Leon took hold of the Keyblade and it didn't disappear; he inspected it for a while and even tossed it back to Sora. That didn't count as a bequeathing ritual.
Oh yeah that's right. Well Sora is master level now so he could preform a ceremony if he wanted.
Not necessarily, what that quote I listed points out is that the person in question has to be recognized by a master as only one master can give the title to another bearer.
Sora hasn't had such recognition.
What about Terra? He's not a master and he was able to preform the ceremony.

Me said:Terra was recognized by his master as having suitable power of a master which allowed him to do the ceremony but Sora didn't get that kind of recognition either.
There's no precedent in the KH-verse for people's opinions of others to dictate personal capabilities.
Launchpadmcquack said:By this logic, every villain that Sora ever smacked in the face with the Keyblade can now wield.
Even Captain Hook.
He could have a Keyblade hand instead of a hook. Peter Pan better say his goddamn prayers.
Rolands said:Wait wait wait, a person can only do a rite of succession if one Keyblade Master considers them to be a Keyblade Master? That seems all sorts of contrived. There's no precedent in the KH-verse for people's opinions of others to dictate personal capabilities. Sora is extremely powerful, quite possibly "master" level, whatever that is.
Just clarifying, a person can only do the rites if he or she is recognised by a Keyblade Master as possessing suitable power as a master him / herself, or if he or she is a Keyblade Master him / herself.
You said,
which is true. Otherwise, someone could have defeated anyone simply by having an opinion that they are weaker than him or her.
However, this wasn't what happened in Terra's case. If anything, it was the other way around. It was not that Eraqus' opinion allowed Terra to be a master-level wielder, but it was Terra's endeavours that had led to Eraqus recognising him, hence his capability to perform the rites without even bearing an official title of a Keyblade Master. That "opinion" was not simply an opinion, it was recognition and not without basis.
Eventually, it all traces back to Terra, not Eraqus, whom the onus had been on. Had Terra not demonstrated suitable power to be a Keyblade Master, Eraqus would not have recognised him as he did and the story would have played in a different manner.
Dream Drop Distance Glossary said:While the word "master" might be tossed around, only an existing Keyblade Master can pass on the title and it's associated powers.
Among the Keyblade Masters is one true "successor" who is tasked with protecting a hallowed ground known as Land of Departure
Sora is indeed strong but strength alone obviously isn't enough. We dont know exactly what "master level" is or what it fully requires but Eraqus pointed out in his examination of Terra in Aqua that it was:Rolands said:Sora is extremely powerful, quite possibly "master" level, whatever that is
Eraqus said:Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two
of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates... but this is neither a
competition nor a battle for supremacy-- not a test of wills, but a test of
heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither. But I am sure our guest, Master
Xehanort... did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years
fall short of the Mark. I trust you are ready.
The key factor seems to be a test of heart not just power. If it was on strength alone you wouldn't need a test just train till your hax as diddly.
And while Sora may be powerful that doesn't mean he is like Terra who, while denied an official title, was recognized as being of a masters level by his master.
