-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Kalm Town (trade the
                                                Guide Book for it).
  Negates the 20-minute time limit when fighting the Emerald Weapon.
  You can get as many of these as you want (as long as you have Guide
  Books), and since you can store an infinite number of AP on this
  materia, it's really handy to sell for money or to give to characters
  who benefit from having high AP amounts (like Barret and his Missing
  Score weapon).


=======================================================================
SUPPORT MATERIA                                                    BLUE
=======================================================================

Note that the DOUBLE CUT and SLASH-ALL materia cannot be supported
unless you use my trusty Master Command trick (see the Master Command
materia entry for more info.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED CUT      effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Great Glacier; look on
  Level 2       --              200000          the 2nd screen of the
                                                northern 'switching
                                                crossroads' path.
  After using the materia that this is combined with, your character
  will make a single physical attack against the enemy targeted by
  the previous materia use (a random target is chosen if the materia
  affected a random or all targets).  Don't link this to a materia you
  can use on your allies, or you'll attack them.  Can support any magic,
  command, or summon materia.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED EFFECT   effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Cosmo Canyon, in the
  Level 2       --              100000          Gi Tribe cave.

  If this materia and the materia it is connected to are attached to
  your weapon, any attack you make can inflict the ailment of the
  attached materia (i.e. equip Poison, and when you attack an enemy,
  you may be able to poison them).  If both materia are attached to
  your armor, you are protected from the status ailment that materia
  can inflict (using the previous example, you'd be immune to poisonous
  attacks).  Can support Mystify, Poison, Seal, Time, Transform,
  Destruct, Contain, Choco/Mog, Hades, and Odin.  Note that this can
  be used to bypass certain limitations; for example, you can turn
  a flying enemy into a frog by attaching Transform or Hades to your
  weapon (this isn't normally possible).


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL            effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       1 time          0               Sector 7 Slums
  Level 2       2 times         1500            Shinra Building (Fl. 68)
  Level 3       3 times         6000            Cargo Ship / Mt. Nibel
  Level 4       4 times         18000           Great Glacier
  Level 5       5 times         35000           Fort Condor (Disc 2-3)

  You can change the range of the attached materia so that it affects
  all targets instead of one.  The tradeoff is that the power of that
  materia decreases.  You can make sure to only target one enemy by
  pressing R1 when targetting the attached materia.  This materia works
  outside of battle, too.  Can support Restore, Heal (Poizona/Esuna),
  Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Seal, Mystify, Time,
  Barrier, Destruct, and FullCure.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
COUNTER        effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       +30%            0               Northern Crater.  Look
  Level 2       +40%            40000           for it in the area with
  Level 3       +60%            80000           trees and the patch of
  Level 4       +80%            120000          shiny light.
  Level 5       +100%           200000

  Wearing this will make your character counterattack with the attached
  materia.  Can support any command materia except Enemy Skill and
  Master Command.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ELEMENTAL      effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       Halved      *   0               Shinra Building, Fl. 62
  Level 2       No Damage   *   10000           Mt. Corel    
  Level 3       Absorbed HP *   40000           Nibelheim (Tifa's piano)
  Level 4       --              80000

  This works just like the 'Added Effect' materia, but it effects
  elemental damage types.  Equip it to your weapon along with a materia
  and you can attack and cause elemental damage.  Equip it to your armor
  and you are defended from that sort of element.  Can support Fire,
  Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Choco/Mog, Ifrit, Shiva,
  Ramuh, Titan, Leviathan, Phoenix, Alexander, Bahamut, Neo-Bahamut,
  Bahamut Zero.

  *  These apply to armor only.  The element will do half damage to you,
     then no damage at level 2, and at level 3, you will gain back HP
     equal to the damage that would have been inflicted by that element
     attack.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL ATTACK   effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       1 time          0               Win Dio's special battle
  Level 2       2 times         20000           at the Gold Saucer's
  Level 3       3 times         40000           Battle Square
  Level 4       4 times         80000                         
  Level 5       5 times         160000                                 

  When an ally wearing this is killed, they will use the connected
  materia before dying.  The power of the materia will always be the
  strongest one available.  This materia can only be used so many
  times per battle.  Note that it doesn't always work, either.  A
  smart tactic is to attach this to the Revive or Phoenix materia so
  that you'll be protected from dying.  Works with any materia!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HP ABSORB      effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Northern Crater    
  Level 2       --              100000                             

  If the connected materia can inflict damage on an enemy, 1/10th of
  that damage is given back to you in the form of HPs.  Can support
  Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Meteorite, Contain,
  Ultima, Steal (Mug), Deathblow, Manipulate, Morph, Throw, Slash-All,
  Double Cut, Master Command, Mimic (if you mimicked something that did
  damage), W-Summon, W-Magic (using one of the abovementioned spells),
  or any summon materia.

  Level 4       +80%            160000
  Level 5       +100%           300000

  Wearing this will make your character counterattack with the attached
  materia, always casting the best possible spell level available.  Can
  support any magic or summon materia.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MP ABSORB      effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Wutai (you must complete
  Level 2       --              100000          Yuffie's quest first).

  If the connected materia can inflict damage on an enemy, 1/10th of
  that damage is given back to you in the form of MPs.  Can support
  Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Meteorite, Contain,
  Ultima, Steal (Mug), Deathblow, Manipulate, Morph, Throw, Slash-All,
  Double Cut, Master Command, Mimic (if you mimicked something that did
  damage), W-Summon, W-Magic (using one of the abovementioned spells),
  or any summon materia.

  Level 2       +20%            10000          
  Level 3       +30%            30000
  Level 4       +40%            60000
  Level 5       +50%            120000

  When attached to a materia, the standard MP cost increases. However,
  that spell becomes more effective by a certain percentage as well.
  Can support any Magic or Summon materia, and the Enemy Skill materia.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
QUADRA MAGIC   effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       1 time          0               In the cave at the end
  Level 2       2 times         40000           of the chain of          
  Level 3       3 times         80000           penninsulas near Mideel
  Level 4       4 times         120000                        
  Level 5       5 times         200000                                 

  When you cast any spell, summon, or enemy skill, it will be cast four
  times in succession with no increase in MP cost.  However, you cannot
  pick your targets for the successive castings, and the effectiveness
  of the spell, skill, or summon drops by 2/5ths.  Can support any
  Magic and Summon materia (except Knights of the Round), and the Enemy
  Skill materia.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SNEAK ATTACK   effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:

  Level 4       +65%            100000
  Level 5       +80%            150000

  When worn, the person with this materia equipped has a percent chance
  of stepping forward before the first round has begun and using the
  attached materia.  This effect functions regardless of Pre-Emptive
  or Ambush-style battles.  The target of the attached materia is
  always chosen at random, and the CPU will always make your character
  use the best ability he has (Coin instead of Throw, Cure 3 instead of
  Cure 2, etc.)  Note that there is a direct relation between your
  Dexterity level and the success rate of this materia.  Wearing a
  Speed Plus materia, or an accessory that increases Dexterity, will
  make this materia more effective.  Can support any spell, command, or
  summon materia, excluding anything that causes the 'Slash-All' effect.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STEAL AS WELL  effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Level 1       --              0               Wutai.  Beyond the fire
  Level 2       --              200000          pits in the Dachao area.

  After using the materia that this is combined with, your character
  will make one Steal attempt against the enemy the previous materia
  targeted (it works like 'Added Cut').  Can support any magic, command,
  or summon materia.
