Types

Materia is separated into five categories of functions in the game: "Command", "Magic", "Summon", "Independent", and "Support". Graphically they are yellow, green, red, blue, and purple respectively. The materia type is determined by a single byte value that is separated into two parts. The upper nybble will be considered the sub-type and the lower nybble is the base type. For base types the values will yield the following results:

Base Materia Type
X0 Independent
X1 Independent
X2 Command
X3 Command
X4 Independent
X5 Support
X6 Command
X7 Command
X8 Command
X9 Magic
XA Magic
XB Summon
XC Summon
XD Independent1
XE Independent1
XF Independent1


Each of these Base Types have a set of sub-types that provide different functions. They are used to determine what function to provide, usually based on the Materia's attribute list. These sub-types have the following functions when equipped:
(If sub-type is listed as 'X' then any sub-type will produce that effect. Other sub-types have no function. Battle effects not mentioned.)

Independent Types:
00 Function based on Attribute 1
  0Ch Character's flags ORd with 1 and MateriaHandler set to 11 (Underwater)
62h Character's flags ORd with 8 and MateriaHandler set to 11 (HP<->MP)
202 Increases Stat Bonus value based on attribute list2A and AP level and sets MateriaHandler to 4
303 Character's flags ORd with 4 and MateriaHandler set to 12
40 Same as 20, but sets MateriaHandler to 0Dh (EXP Plus)
214 Enables effect Attribute 1 with a magnitude based on attribute list and AP Level
41 Enables effect Attribute 1 with a magnitude based on attribute list and AP Level
X4 If 0xC06914 is non-0 after getting AP level then set MateriaHandler to 0Bh (Mega-All)
 
Command Types:
12 Replace first command (Attack) based on attribute list and AP Level
X3 Subtype not important. Only Primary Attributes allowed are 15h, 16h, 17h
  15h Replaces Magic with WMagic
16h Replaces Summon with WSummon
17h Replaces Item with WItem
X6 Add Command based on attribute list and AP Level
X7 Add Command 0Dh (E.Skill)
X8 Add Command 5 (Steal), 6 (Sense), 7 (Coin), 9 (Morph), Ah (D.Blow), Bh (Manip), Ch (Mime)
 
Support Types:
25 Attribute 1 must be between 54h - 64h inclusive. Just sets the MateriaHandler to a specific value
  Attribute 1 Value MateriaHandler Materia
54h 0Fh Command Counter
55h 0Fh Magic Counter
56h 10h Sneak Attack
57h Ignored
58h 10h MP Turbo
59h 10h MP Absorb
5Ah 10h HP Absorb
5Bh Ignored
5Ch 10h Added Cut
5Dh 10h Steal As Well
5Eh 10h Elemental
5Fh 10h Added Effect
60h Ignored
61h Ignored
62h Ignored
63h Ignored
64h 10h (Unused)
35 Like 25, but only Attribute 1 values 51h, 57h, and 63h are used.
  51h 0Fh All
57h 10h Final Attack
63h 0Fh Quadra Magic
 
Magic Types:
X9 Add Command 2 (Magic) and Enable magics based on attribute list and AP Level
XA Add Command 2 (Magic) and Enable magics with index 0-37h inclusive5
 
Summon Types:
XB Add Command 3 (Summon) and enables attack at Attribute 1 for use 'AP Level' times (Ignores other Attributes)
XC Add Command 3 (Summon) and enables attacks with index 38h - 47h inclusive


1 - There are no XD, XE or XF type materias in the game. They are graphically represented as Independent but have no effect.
2 - Various in-battle conditions (Cover/Counter) and stat increases
2A - 0=Strength; 1=Vitality; 2=Magic; 3=Spirit; 4=Speed; 5=Luck; 6=Attack; 7=Defense; 8=MHP; 9=MMP; 10=EXP; higher than 10 results in memory leaks
3 - ONLY works with Materia Index 0Ch (Long Range). Attribute List is ignored
4 - Although Enemy Away's first attribute shares a value with Enemy Lure (1), it is handled differently based on index to alter a different memory address from Enemy Lure.
5 - Shield is the last magic attack with an index of 35h. The Magic menu prevents access to attacks 36h & 37h

Materia Handler

These are the values assigned to each materia type:

Handler Value Type
00 None
01 Magic Materia (excluding Master Magic)
02 Summon Materia (excluding Master Summon)
03 Base 6
04 20
05 Master Command
06 Master Magic
07 Master Summon
08 E.Skill
09 41
0A 21
0B Mega-All
0C None

0E W-Materia
0F some 25 & 35
10 some 25 & 35
11 00
12 Specifically CounterAttack and Long Range
13 Base 2

It primarily (exclusively?) tells the menu loader which texts to bring up when a menu is loaded.
