Use[]

Magic focus materia boosts the strength of the linked spell being cast. This, coupled with boosting the spellcaster's Magic Attack Magic Attack, is the best way to increase the damage or healing output of certain spells. In strategies where one particular spell is relied upon (especially in many Chadley Combat Simulator gauntlets), this can make the materia a very useful pairing.

The materia can boost the effect of healing spells, but Curaga Curaga is normally strong enough where magic focus becomes less necessary. In theory, the materia can also be used to lengthen the duration of statuses inflicted. Though this can be useful with Time Materia Time Materia (both to boost Haste Haste supportively or Stop Stop offensively), this is often also less effective than using it with attack magic.

Using magic focus with attack materia is therefore the best use, and can be especially effective when pairing other orbs of the same materia with other support materia (Magnify Materia Magnify Materia, HP Absorption Materia HP Absorption Materia, MP Absorption Materia MP Absorption Materia, or Swiftcast Materia Swiftcast Materia). However, all linked magic materia need to have the level of the spell the player wants to use for multiple effects to trigger at once.

Making use of the Genji Gloves Genji Gloves, and/or a party member with a high Magic Attack Magic Attack (Aerith or Cloud) or one with ability to dualcast spells (Aerith with Arcane Ward, or Yuffie with Doppelganger, which can be paired with Arcane Ward to cast a spell four times), can lead to deadly spells cast that make quick work of even most lategame bosses. The player can also use it in conjunction with Magic Up Materia Magic Up Materia and/or Faith Faith.

Magic focus materia can also be paired with Fire and Ice Materia Fire and Ice Materia, Lightning and Wind Materia Lightning and Wind Materia, and/or Poison and Petrify Materia Poison and Petrify Materia as a way to boost multiple spells at once. Magic Focus can be good with poison and earth spells to both deal more damage, and lengthen the duration of Poison Poison and Petrify Petrify.

As magic focus materia takes a lot of AP to level up, it can be a good pairing with AP Up Materia AP Up Materia on a back line party member when the player is not using magic with it.
