<br/>NOTES:<br/>The battle text (part 26 of the [[FF7/Kernel/Kernel.bin|KERNEL.BIN]]) refers to "Ice" as "Cold" and "Bolt" as "Lightning".<br/>The names of elements 09h - 0Eh are not ever mentioned in the game. However, they are stored as battle text for the purpose of sensing.<br/>"Hidden/Ultima" has no name mentioned in the battle text.<br/>"Hidden/Ultima" is on only a few enemy exclusive attacks including Ultima Weapon's Ultima Beam. Elements 0Ah - 0Eh are considered Physical elements (though not enforced as such) and show up on physical attacks. Non-elemental attacks, such as Bahamuts' Flares, have no elements selected.
