Overview

Materia is crystallized mako. Metaphysically, materia calls upon the wisdom of the lifestream to manipulate nature manifesting as the phenomenon of magic for most materia, although other materia enhance the user's abilities. Unless one is descended from the Cetra, materia is the only way humans can use magic. When explaining how materia is created to Zack and Tifa on Mt. Nibel, Sephiroth mentions that he and Professor Hojo debated the nature of materia. Hojo objected to the term "magic" being applied to powers from materia, but could offer no better term.
