What is a MATERIA?

==> It can be compared to a stone that allows the modification of the characteristics of the players.

==> The weapons and armors of the members of the main party have holes in which we can put the materias. They then give its power to the character that wears the armor.

==> As for the characters, they can gain experience and acquire new competencies. Then can duplicate once their points number of experience reaches the maximum.

==> The weapons and armors that have holes for the materias possess a characteristic called « growth », which value is set between 0 and 5. If the growth is double, the materias that are on the characters equipment will receive double points of experience (AP) that they would normally receive. In opposition, if the growth is “none”, the materias will not receive anything.
