COMMAND MATERIA

Command materia is the type of materia that you equip so you can get extra "senses" to your character or you just want to be cool cuz you have command materia ^^.

Some commands are useful against enemies while aiding your allies as well. Others are a big help for your allies because you've got that extra sixth sense on the field. Mastering all command materia is probably the easiest one to get the master command function because you use most of the materia constantly and there aren't that many command materias around. Lucky for you, you can get double or triple the amount of command materia that you might need.

One drawback is that the most powerful of the command materia can't be junctioned to support materia. Other than that, you're just peachy using Deathblow + Added Cut or manipulating your enemies to cast enemy skills on certain or all characters equipped with the Enemy Skills materia.

 
NAME OF MATERIA HOW MUCH AP YOU NEED... DESCRIPTION OTHER MISC. FACTS

* - none
* * - 40000 AP

Uh...you steal...stuff ^^.

Steal - steals items from
your enemies
Mug - same as Steal except you attack at
the same time
Sense
* - none
Master - 40000 AP
Your character looks at your enemy and monitors their HP/MP, weaknesses, level, and name. Not effective against all bosses, sorry ^^.

Sold at Master Level - 70000 Gil

Can be junctioned w/support materia

Just press Select on your controller after you've "sensed" the enemy and it'll keep on telling what it's stats are all the time until the thing is dead. Useful when you want to get certain items.

Deathblow
* - none
Master - 40000 AP
Hee hee, these are cool. What it does is that your character commanded does a nifty lil' special move for extra damage than normal. Doesn't hit that often, but it hits frequently when your materia level is high.

Ah, the lil brain of mind runs. Well, here are some of the special moves that the characters will perform when they do a deathblow:

Cloud: jumps up in the air and slices
down w/his sword
Tifa: does a spin kick
Barret: winds his gun like pitching a 
baseball and then shoots
Vincent: does a nifty lil  twirling trick 
with his gun before firing
Red XII: spins in the air (?) before biting
down
Cid: jabs his spear at his enemy
Yuffie: aims at her enemy before swinging
her shuriken at her enemy

These are just nonsense facts...as you can 
see, I like Deathblow a little too much ^^.
Morph
* - none
Master - 40000 AP
You do a special attack at a particular enemy for 1/8 of a damage than a normal attack. However, if you're enemy's weak, then it'll turn into an item. Good especially against Cactuars to morph into Tetra Elementals ^^.

Can be junctioned w/support materia

Can you sell these for a lot of mula? Nope ^^.

The only one you'll have, (if I remember correctly) is from the Temple of Ancients.

Manipulate
* - none
Master - 40000 AP
This usually works. You basically manipulate your enemy (it turns green and turns around) and control its actions. It'll be controlled by your character who manipulated it until it either is hit by someone or dies. Useful in getting enemy skills.

Sold at Master Level - 700000 Gil

It's not effective against some enemies (like those stupid judge thingies in Shinra Mansion who cast "????") and all bosses.

You can hit them when you're done with them for extra damage since they have their back to you.

Throw
* - none
* * - 45000 AP
Master - 60000 AP
You can...throw stuff, duh. Yuffie has this equipped on her when you first get her.

Sold at Master Level - 700000 Gil

Can NOT be junctioned w/support materia

Throw - throws a weapon (or weapons)
from your inventory
Coin Toss - throws as much money as you
want to at an enemy; depends on how much
money you throw for damage
Slash All
* - none
* * - 100000 AP
Master - 150000 
AP
This is cool. That's all I can say. You attack all the enemies (even though it's less than what you normally attack with). Hehe, Ayame-chan likes.

Can't be junctioned w/support materia

You can't sell this thing, you'll only get 1 Gil (sucks to you)

Flash Slash (level 2) can use your regular attacks at all enemies, killing them instantly *if* they hit, and that's a big IF.

Double Cut
* - none
* * - 100000 AP
Master - 150000 
AP
This one is also cool. You automatically hit twice (level 1) or four times (level 2). Hahaha, I like hitting more than once.

Think you can sell this? I think not. Why would you want to sell this thing anyhoo? Are you crazy?

Equipping Mega All will negate this materia. Yep, you read this write. NEGATE.

Mimic
* - none
Master - 100000
AP
Um...the character who has this on them will mimic whatever recent attack that the previous character just did. Spells cast don't take away the imitators' MP nor items. You can't imitate someone else's limit break except for that imitator's own.

I dun think you wanna get rid of this when you want to fight against Emerald Weapon.

Can't junction support materia

This is only available when you take the Chocobo breeding quest and get a Mountain chocobo, go to the Wutai materia cave, and huzzah, Mimic materia.

W-Item
* - none
Master - 250000 
AP
You use two items at one time. What can I say?

You'll only find this only if you didn't go on ahead to the Sister Ray area and went backwards in the sewers all the way to the Sector One sewers to obtain this materia.

Can't junction w/support materia

W-Summon
* - none
Master - 250000
AP
I love this one ^^. You use two SUMMONS at one time. Just think of it: Knights of the Round summon cast twice. Bye, bye, Emerald!

Can't junction w/support materia

Are you crazy of selling this?!?

This can only be one in the Battle Square at Gold Saucer for 64000 BP.

W-Magic
* - none
Master - 250000
AP
Another favorite. You cast two magic spells at once. Now think of it this way: Contain Magic junctioned with Quadra Magic and use W-Magic. You cast the spell EIGHT times!

Can't be junctioned w/support materia (not that you need to)

I dun think you can sell this anyway since ti's only found in the Final Dungeon.
