Support Materia.

Single slot. Support Materia (支援マテリア, Shien Materia?) is one of five subsets of Materia in Final Fantasy VII. They add support abilities to the paired Magic, Command, or Summon Materia.

On a weapon or armor with linked Materia slots, a command ability Materia can be paired with a Support Materia as long as they are compatible to add various effects from augmenting damage/support done to enemies/party members, or even use the ability outside of its command from the attack menu.

Due to the Master Command and Support Materia glitch, when a Support Materia is paired with a Master Command Materia, the effect is applied to all commands the character can use, even the Attack and Item commands. Unlike other Materia, Support Materia give no stat boosts or penalties for the user.
