   Demi 3 reduces current HP by 3/4.  Make sense now?

*1 Go to the town on the Southernmost Continent and feed the hyperactive
   boy's chocobo.  You'll have to make sure that you have the proper
   seasoning on you (buy it for 1500 gil from the Chocobo Farm; it's the
   same one you use to learn Chocobockle; the 5th item from the top).
   Choose the top option when you examine the chocobo, then choose the
   5th option (the next to last one), and you'll get this materia.  You
   can still do it even after the town is partially destroyed.

*3 Berserk is useful against magic-casting enemies because they're
   forced to attack and can't use spells.  You can also use this
   spell on yourself; while the ally can do nothing but attack, his
   attack power is greatly increased (but this is true for enemies
   hit with this spell, too).

*5 Reflect reflects a magic spell to the opposite party (foe to ally, ally
   to foe) even if the caster and receiver are both allies or enemies.
   If a spell affects more than one person, only the people with Reflect
   will have the spell reflected.

   Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, a reflected spell (at least, if
   the reflective power is automatic or due to an accessory like the
   Reflect Ring) will bounce back and forth until it 'breaks through'
   a target's reflectiveness (which will still be there--it's not
   permanently removed) or misses.  This is quite a change from the
   normal 'reflect one time' rule of other FF incarnations, and whether
   it was programmed in purposely or is a glitch remains to be seen.

   Riflek doesn't work against Juuryoku-type spells, Inseki-type spells,
   Ultima, Shield, Debarrier, or Dispel.
