Materia List

Magic | Summon | Support | Command | Independant

Unique to Final Fantasy VII, the Materia ability system provides a good grounding for beginners, but requires great skill to master. Each weapon and armour equipped has up to eight "Materia Slots". Some slots will be paired with another - this allows Support Materia to function. Once placed in a slot, the character will acquire an ability.
There are five different kinds of Materia: Green Magic Materia allows you to use various Offensive, Defensive and Curative spells; Red Summon Materia summon a monster that will attack all opponents; Blue Support Materia add special abilities to the Materia they are paired with; Yellow Command Materia allows you to use different attacks; Purple Independant Materia have miscellaneous effects.
