bonus is culmulative: HP Plus, MP Plus, Luck Plus, Magic Plus, and Plus.
This means that you can wear more than one for an even higher increase in
your scores (but you can only wear so many--try to equip lots of the
same type of Materia and you'll see that your stats. remain the same.
The rest of the Purple Materia (Gil Plus, Teki Yose, etc.) have no
Added Effect of two or more of them are worn at once. The only
exception is when you wear the Counter Materia; see below for details.

LONG DISTANCE ATTACK 80000 AP 2 stars

power. This materia has no effect if you are in the front row.
Find: In the Mythril Mine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROTECT 40000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV1: 20% Up The character wearing this Materia will block
LV2: 40% Up an enemy's attack by standing in front of one of
LV3: 60% Up his allies when they are attacked. It won't
LV4: 80% Up always happen (unless you're at 100%), and that
LV5: 100% Up ally will keep guarding even if his HPs are low.
This only works when another ally is hit by a
physical attack, not by magic or certain enemy
abilties.
Status Changes: STRENGTH +01
Find: In the garden next to Aeris's house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Counter Attack 100000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The character wearing this will Counteattack using his weapon if he is
targeted by an enemy (the attack doesn't have to be physical, and it
doesn't have to be aimed specifically at the person wearing the Counter
Attack Materia. In fact, it doesn't even have to hit or do damage in
order to trigger a counterattack). Damage is the same, just as if you
had attacked normally (it's even possible to miss).
A counterattack is made only against the enemy you hit; combining
this materia with Subete All, Renzokugiri, or any other materia that
affects your ability to attack will have no effect. However, I'm not
sure how Enkyori Kougeki would affect this materia. The chance of you
Counter Attacking when hit raises at 20% per star. You won't
counterattack your friends if they attack you, BTW.
Note that the more of these that you wear, the more times you make a
counterattack. So if you have 4 Counter Attack materia equipped and an
enemy hits you with a physical attack, you will strike that foe 4 times.
Find: Caves behind Nivelheim, or you can receive it as a
prize for winning the chocobo races held at the
Gold Saucer.

instead of just one. However, the Subete All affects _every_
ability your character possesses. The ability must be a selectable one
(in the Battle Window), and not an ability such as Counter Attack or
Cover. This Materia doesn't work with Summon Spells or the ability to use
Items (even with W Item equipped).
