 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDERWATER     effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
MP TURBO       effect:         ap needed:      can find/buy at:
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1       +10%            0               Temple of the Ancients
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 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.
