This section lists each Materia and explains it's abilities and other
information. A new addition to this section is 'AP to Master': this
tells you how many AP you will need to master that materia. It's easy
enough to check your current AP level in the Main Menu, but you can't
figure out what the master amount of AP is until you're at the next
to the last level--the reason for this addition.

seasoning on you (buy it for 1500 gil from the Chocobo Farm; it's the
same one you use to learn Chocobockle; the 5th item from the top).
Choose the top option when you examine the chocobo, then choose the
5th option (the next to last one), and you'll get this materia. You

attack power is greatly increased (but this is true for enemies
hit with this spell, too).

Purchase from: Rocket Village (see note *5)
*5 Reflect reflects a magic spell to the opposite party (foe to ally, ally
to foe) even if the caster and receiver are both allies or enemies.
If a spell affects more than one person, only the people with Reflect
will have the spell reflected.
Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, a reflected spell (at least, if
the reflective power is automatic or due to an accessory like the
Reflect Ring) will bounce back and forth until it 'breaks through'
a target's reflectiveness (which will still be there--it's not
permanently removed) or misses. This is quite a change from the
normal 'reflect one time' rule of other FF incarnations, and whether
it was programmed in purposely or is a glitch remains to be seen.
Riflek doesn't work against Juuryoku-type spells, Inseki-type spells,
Ultima, Shield, Debarrier, or Dispel.

MASTER MAGIC n/a no stars

When equipped, you can cast ANY magic spell, providing you have enough
MP. Remember, using a combination materia together with the Master Magic
materia will affect all your spells, but not all of them will be
compatible with certain types of combination materia.
========================
YELLOW - COMMAND MATERIA
========================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEAL 50000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: (Steal)
Attempt to steal an item from an enemy. It doesn't always work,
and you can't steal if an enemy has no items.
LV2: (Plunder)
As above, but you will attack and steal at the same time. Once
you learn this, you can't use Nusumu.
Status Changes: Speed Plus +02
Purchase: Kalm Town
Find: After killing the boss when you fall into the sewers
once you've rescued Tifa from Wall Market (Disc 1).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
THROW 60000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: (Throw)
You can throw one of the weapons in your inventory at an enemy.
You'll lose the weapon you throw, however. The only items you're
allowed to throw are: swords (Cloud), rods (Aeris), cannons
(Barret), shuriken (Yuffie), M-phones (Cait Sith), handguns
(Vincent), and spears (Cid). You cannot throw a weapon an ally
is equipped with.
LV2: (Coin Toss)
Once you learn it, this command and Nageru switch constantly while
the Battle Window is open. If you choose it, you must then decide
how much money you will _keep_ by using the controller (just like
purchasing a certain amount of items). No matter how much gil you
toss, the maximum damage is always 9999. The ratio of gil to
damage points is 10:1, so you'd better have a lot of money.
Status Changes: STRENGTH +01
Intially Equipped: Yuffie
Purchase: Fort Condor, Rocket Town
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTINUOUS SLICE 150000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: (Continuous Slice)
You can make make two physical attacks on one enemy.

lower than normal. Each enemy that you attack is picked at
random.
Status Changes: Speed Plus +02
Find: Wrecked Plane
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLICE EVERYBODY 150000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: Slice Everybody) You can make one attack which will hit all
enemies. It's possible to hit and miss at the same time with this
command.
LV2: (Swordplay)
All enemies facing you are instantly killed. This command doesn't
always work.
Find: Old Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERCIEVE 40000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're shown an enemy's HP, MP, experience level, and any weaknesses they
may have. Furthermore, their current HP and MP rate is shown if you
select them while the Help Window is activated. Not all enemies can be
scanned with this command.
Initially Equipped: Red 13
Purchase: Kalm Town, Junon Town
Find: Midgar City -- Area 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morph 100000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This command makes you do a physical attack at roughly 2/3rds less
damage. If your foe is killed with this hit, he will transform into an
item for you to take. Not all enemies can be morphed.
Find: At the Temple
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deathblow 40000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When used, an ally will try to make a critical strike. This attack
misses often, but still hits more frequently than a regular critical
attack does.
Status Changes: LUCK +01
Purchase: Fort Condor, Rocket Village
Find: Area near Gongaga Town
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANIPULATE 40000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can control an enemy with this command. If it works, your character
can't do anything aside from controlling the enemy. Not all enemies can
be controlled, and on top of that, this command doesn't always work.
While an enemy is under your command, you can do nothing aside from
direct it (you can't perform normal commands, only pick commands for the
monster under your control). If you're using this materia and Subete
All, you'll attempt to control all monsters, but you can only
control one, no matter how successful you are :(
Initially equipped: Cait Sith
Purchase: Fort Condor, Rocket Village
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemy Skill n/a 24 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can learn certain skills normally available only to your enemies
with this materia equipped. To learn a skill, the enemy must use it
on you (even if you dodge it or are killed by it), and you must then
proceed to win the battle. Each time you gain a new skill, one of the
24 stars in the Materia Menu lights up and the skill's name is added
to the gray box beneath it. Using enemy skills costs MP, in most cases.
You can also check out Enemy Skills in the Magic Menu.
Find: Shinra HQ -- 68th floor, after killing the boss.
Ancient City (behind a bed), Chocobo Sennin's
house (talk to the Green Chocobo), basement of
Junon Town (the room with the soldiers).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mime 100000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can mimic the last action one of your allies made when using this
command, whether it was spell-casting, using up an item, activating a
Command Materia, summoning a monster, changing rows, etc. You won't
lose any HP, MP, items, or anything else that would be used up or
depleted normally. Since Monomane mimics the last action made, you can
skip through the other allies until it is your turn again to repeatedly
imitate yourself. And while you can't mimic Limit Breaks, you can
imitate your own Breaks. What's really cool about this materia is that
you will imitate the person's combination materia, too. So if someone
casts Fire 2, and it's combined with Quadra Magic, then you will
use Quadra Magic as well when you mimic them without having to have
it equipped!
Find: One of the bonus areas...refer to section 5b.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
W-Magic / W MAGIC 250000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This command lets you cast two spells, one right after the other. MP
consumption remains normal and you have to have enough for both spells.
The great thing about this materia is that you can still use Mahou
Midareuchi, All, Subete All, MP Turbo, or any other materia
that affects magic along with this to affect both spells that you're
casting.
Find: Makou Pit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
W-Summon / W SUMMON 250000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can summon two monsters, one right after the other, when this Materia
is equipped. You have to have enough MP to perform the summons, and if
you've already called a monster the maximum number of times, you can't
call it again using this command.
Find: A prize you can buy at the Gold Saucer's Battle
Square.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
W-Item / W ITEM 250000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use two items, one right after the other, with this command.
You must have enough items to use, though.
Find: At the end of the passageway leading south when you
raid Midgar City at the end of Disc 2.

MASTER COMMAND n/a no stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When equipped, you can use the following commands in battle: Certain
Kill, Coin Toss, Manipulate, Morph, Mime, Sense, Steal,
and Throw.
============================
PURPLE - INDEPENDENT MATERIA
============================
Note that when more than one of the following Materia are worn, their
bonus is culmulative: HP Plus, MP Plus, Luck Plus, Magic Plus, and Plus.
This means that you can wear more than one for an even higher increase in
your scores (but you can only wear so many--try to equip lots of the
same type of Materia and you'll see that your stats. remain the same.
The rest of the Purple Materia (Gil Plus, Teki Yose, etc.) have no
Added Effect of two or more of them are worn at once. The only
exception is when you wear the Counter Materia; see below for details.

LV2: HP 20% Up listed amount, allowing you to gain back more HP.

LV5: MP 50% Up
Purchase: Cosmo Canyon or Mideel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP<->MP 80000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This materia switches your maximum HP score with your maximum MP score.
While this allows you to have up to 9999 MP, your HPs can never go
beyond 999 while wearing this materia. Interestingly enough, equipping
an 'HP Plus' materia will increase your MP amount (up to 9999), and
wearing a 'MP Plus' materia will increase your maximum HP (but you still
can't go beyond 999 Hit Points).
Find: One of the bonus areas...refer to section 5b.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luck Plus 100000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find: Bottom of ladder in the cave beyond the Ancient
City in Disc 2.

Speed Plus 100000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: Speed Plus 10% Up This materia increases your Speed rating (which
LV2: Speed Plus 20% Up determines, in part, battle initiative and your
LV3: Speed Plus 30% Up ability to dodge attacks). Should this materia
LV4: Speed Plus 40% Up be taken off, your speed will go back to it's
LV5: Speed Plus 50% Up former level.

LONG DISTANCE ATTACK 80000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may attack from the back row without any reduction in your attack
power. This materia has no effect if you are in the front row.
Find: In the Mythril Mine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROTECT 40000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: 20% Up The character wearing this Materia will block
LV2: 40% Up an enemy's attack by standing in front of one of
LV3: 60% Up his allies when they are attacked. It won't
LV4: 80% Up always happen (unless you're at 100%), and that
LV5: 100% Up ally will keep guarding even if his HPs are low.
This only works when another ally is hit by a
physical attack, not by magic or certain enemy
abilties.
Status Changes: STRENGTH +01
Find: In the garden next to Aeris's house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter Attack 100000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The character wearing this will Counteattack using his weapon if he is
targeted by an enemy (the attack doesn't have to be physical, and it
doesn't have to be aimed specifically at the person wearing the Counter
Attack Materia. In fact, it doesn't even have to hit or do damage in
order to trigger a counterattack). Damage is the same, just as if you
had attacked normally (it's even possible to miss).
A counterattack is made only against the enemy you hit; combining
this materia with Subete All, Renzokugiri, or any other materia that
affects your ability to attack will have no effect. However, I'm not
sure how Enkyori Kougeki would affect this materia. The chance of you
counterattacking when hit raises at 20% per star. You won't
counterattack your friends if they attack you, BTW.
Note that the more of these that you wear, the more times you make a
counterattack. So if you have 4 Counter Attack materia equipped and an
enemy hits you with a physical attack, you will strike that foe 4 times.
Find: Caves behind Nivelheim, or you can receive it as a
prize for winning the chocobo races held at the
Gold Saucer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mega All 160000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like All, this materia allows you to target all allies or enemies
instead of just one. However, the Subete All affects _every_
ability your character possesses. The ability must be a selectable one
(in the Battle Window), and not an ability such as Counter Attack or
Cover. This Materia doesn't work with Summon Spells or the ability to
use Items (even with W Item equipped).
Find: Makou Pit.
==========================
BLUE - COMBINATION MATERIA
==========================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP ABSORB 100000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every time you hit an enemy with magic, 1/10th of the damage you did is
given back to you in the form of HPs.
Find: Makou Pit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP ABSORB 100000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every time you hit an enemy with magic, 1/10th of the damage you did is
given back to you in the form of MPs.
Find: Chest in Wutai.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP TURBO 120000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When paired with a Mahou or Summon materia, the MP cost raises by about
1/3rd the original amount. However, the effectiveness of the spell cast
is increased by a third as well, whether it is damaged inflicted or HP
restored. The only exception to this that I've found so far is the
Knights of Round materia--pair it to MP Turbo and the cost raises
only 5 points, yet the amount of damage is still raised by a third.
Find: In the Temple.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All 35000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When linked to a green materia, you will target that spell on all allies
or enemies instead of just one. This allows you to hit them all with
that spell. The more levels you raise this materia, the more times you
can do this; after enough uses of that spell, you'll have to target
one enemy again until the next battle. Note that All will not work
with the following materia: Altema, Chiryou (Resist only), Fulkea, Fuuin,
Inseki, Ridatsu, or Shield.
Initially Equipped: Red 13
Purchase from: Fort Condor
Find: Shinra HQ -- trade in one of the bags from the
'locked door' puzzle to get it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quadra Magic 200000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be combined with Spell or Summon Materia. When used, the spell
strikes 4 times, with the target randomly chosen each time. The damage
that spell would inflict is reduced, but the you only lose MP as if you
had casted the spell once. The same applies if it is combined with a
Summon Materia. This Materia works with every magic spell and summon
skill except for Escape and Knights of Round.
Find: One of the bonus areas...refer to section 5b.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sneak Attack 150000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a Mahou, Summon, or Command materia attached to the Fuiuchi
materia, then the character wearing them will instantly use the
attached materia before the allies or enemies can attack. However,
there is only a small chance of this working, but you can increase it
by raising this materia's levels. This materia doesn't work against
enemies that are supposed to attack first (such as the armored tank
that you fight after escaping from Shinra HQ in Disc One).
Find: Receive as a prize if you did well in the chocobo
races at the Gold Saucer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGIC Counter 300000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite it's name, you can attach a Mahou or a Summon materia to this
materia orb. If you are attacked, there is a chance that you will
Counterattack with whatever spell or Shoukan you have equipped, providing
you have the MP for it. The chance of you making a Counterattack
increases 20% per level star you earn. If you have either the Master
Magic or Master Summon materia equipped, the Shoukanjuu or magic spell
used is determined randomly.
Find: Receive as a prize if you did well in the chocobo
races at the Gold Saucer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter Attack 100000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This materia will only work if it is attached to a Command Materia.
Furthermore, it will will only work with the following Materia:
Ayatsuru, Henka, Hissatsu, Miyaburu, Monomane*, Nageru, and Nusumu.
If you have the Master Command materia linked to this one, then one of
the eight commands will be picked at random. When you are attacked by
an enemy, you will Counter Attackattack with the command materia you have
equipped. The chance of you counterattacking increases by 20% for each
new level star you earn. If the command chosen is Nageru or Zeninage,
then the item thrown/amount of gil thrown is randomly determined.
* Since Monomane will make you imitate what you or your allies just did,
you can use Monomane to Counterattack with Renzokugiri, a Summon
spell, or any other Materia ability. It's probably the best Materia
to have when using the Counter Attack because you can strike back
with just about any ability you can think of.
Find: Makou Pit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ATTACK 160000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works just like the ability that many of your enemies have; when
your HP is reduced to 0, you will activate whatever Materia is attached
to the Final Attack Materia, but that Materia has to be a Mahou, Shoukan,
or Command materia. Be careful, though, since if one of your allies
kills you, you'll attack them with the Materia you have equipped! You
can equip a Materia like Sosei or Barrier to revive yourself or protect
your party once you pass away, though, making this useful as both an
offensive and defensive tactic. The more stars you've earned, the more
times you can use this Materia when you are killed.
Find: A prize you can win at the Gold Saucer's Battle
Square, should you win the URA Battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL SLICE 200000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After using the materia that this is combined with, you'll perform a
single physical attack on the enemy affected by the materia. This means
that if you use a materia on yourself (like Barrier), you'll attack
yourself or your allies!
Find: Look on the 'switching path' in the Mountain
Crossroads area (it's where you can use your map
in the 2nd disk, just before the snowfield).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steal as well* 200000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After using the materia that this is combined with, you'll attempt to
steal from the enemy affected by the previous materia (you won't move
or anything--you simply receive a message telling you if you were
successful or not). Combining this with the Nusumu materia is obviously
pointless unless you're having a hard time stealing from a particular
foe.
Find: In a cavern above Wutai (you need to be able to
cross the fire-pits before you can reach it).
* Could also be translated 'Steal while you are doing (action)'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added Effect 100000 AP 2 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This materia is affect not only by which Mahou or Shoukan materia you
combine it with, but if you affix it to your weapon or your bracelet.
It takes the properties of the linked materia and gives your weapon or
bracelet those properties. For example, equip Shiva on your paired
bracelet holders and you are protected from Ice damage. Equip it and
the Ikazuchi materia on your weapon's holders and your normal attacks
will hit for lightning damage. Like Zokusei (below), not all materia
will work with this combination materia.
Find: Cosmo Canyon -- the cave that you and the old man
explore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental 80000 AP 4 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like Tsuika Kouka, this materia affects the weapon or armor it is
attached to as well as the materia it is combined with. Zokusei only
works when paired with certain Mahou or Shoukan materia. If it is
attached to a weapon, the type of damage you inflict is the same as the
Materia combined with Zokusei (so if you have Phoenix attached to your
weapon and it is combined with this materia, you'll hit for fire damage.
And if you have Doku attached to you armor along with this materia, you
will be protected from Poison attacks). This Materia has no additional
power when linked with a weapon, but if it is combined with a bracelet,
it has the following abilities:
LV1: Damage inflicted is reduced to 1/2 if it is the corresponding type.
LV2: No damage is received if it is the corresponding type.
LV3: Gain HP if you are struck with the corresponding type of attack.
Zokusei will only work when paired with these materia:
MAHOU MATERIA SHOUKAN MATERIA
Poison Alexander Titan
Fire Ifrit Ramuh
Lightning Leviathan
Demi Phoenix
Cold Shiva
Find: From Domino on the 62nd floor of the Shinra HQ.
Also in either Tifa's house or the mountains
behind Nivelheim (NSS).
====================
RED - SUMMON MATERIA
====================
All summon materia have five level stars. The more levels you raise,
the more times you can summon that particular Shoukanjuu (Summoned
Beast) during a battle. Unless mentioned, all summon attacks strike
all enemies at once.
