Special materia

Special materia, also known as Independent Materia, is a subset of materia in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It provides enhancements and modifications to Zack's stats or to Digital Mind Wave abilities. Unlike support materia, special materia do not need to be paired with another materia to provide boosts.
Special materia's stat boosts can be enhanced through Materia Fusion. Dark purple () indicates stat boosts, while light purple () indicates Digital Mind Wave boosts.
