Equipping Support Materia
How does support materia work with attached materia?



Support materia works by attaching a support materia and a supported materia together in a linked spot on your weapon or armor. This linkage combines the effects of both materia.

All attached materia linked to support materia are used to the best of their abilites automatically. For example, if you attach a Restore materia that has Cure, Cure2, and Cure3 to a Final Attack materia, Cure3 will be used. This also applies for offensive materia as well; the strongest available spell or command function will be used.
