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: (If Subtype is listed as 'X' then any subtype will produce that effect. Other subtypes have no function)

Independent Types:
00 Function based on Attribute 1
  0Ch 0xC068B0 ORd with 1 and 0xC068B4 set to 11 (Underwater)
62h 0xC068B0 ORd with 8 and 0xC068B4 set to 11 (HP<->MP)
202 Increases value at 0xC06898 + [Attribute_1 * 2] based on attribute list and AP level
303 0xC068B0 ORd with 4 and 0xC068B4 set to 12
40 Has a function, but is blacklisted at the beginning of the X0 type handler (handled elsewhere)
214 Enables effect Attribute 1 with a magnitude based on attribute list and AP Level
415 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 0xC068B4 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 0xC068B4 to a specific value
  Attribute 1 Value 0xC068B4
54h 0Fh (Command Counter)
55h 0Fh (Magic Counter)
56h 10h
57h Ignored
58h 10h
59h 10h
5Ah 10h

5Eh 10h
5Fh 10h
60h Ignored
61h Ignored

64h 10h
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 inclusive6
 
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
3 - ONLY works with Materia Index 0Ch (Long Range). Attribute List is ignored
4 - Although Materia Index 0Ah (Pre-Emp) is a type 21 (and the only one), there is specific code to limit its magnitude in 41
5 - Although Materia Index 07h (Enemy Away) is a type 41, there is code for that index in 21
6 - Shield is the last magic attack with an index of 35h. The Magic menu prevents access to attacks 36h & 37h
