Materia is not naturally formed, but is made from Makou (Macku) energy, the life of the planet. For now, Shinra has been using up far more Makou than the planet is able to recreate. In less than 100 years, the planet will die, unless Shinra is stopped. However, they can't make use of materia. Little does Shinra know that these little orbs contain great knowledge of the Ancient Setras, who are now gone forever. Or are they...?
