Magic Materia Recipes (Green)

Magic Materia in Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Magic Materia is the Green Materia that allows you to cast Fire, Ice, Thunder, Barriers, Poison, and other elemental spells, and is the most common and crucial Materia form in the game. Due to this, Magic Materia has the most recipes of the bunch, but that also means that you can pinpoint exactly what you want or need and whip it up if you have the required resources.

  • DMW Materia = Octaslash, Healing Wave, Air Strike, Meteor Shots, 1,000 Needles, etc.
  • (Mastered) = Fully leveled Materia.
