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 Attack                            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 Counter Attackattack 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).
