Use[]

The Magic Up materia provides a percentage boost to a party member's current magic attribute. This improves damage dealt both by spells (and healing in the case of healing), but also from magic-based abilities, and basic attacks that are magic based (which include all of Aerith's attacks, both Cloud and Cait Sith's ranged attacks, and Yuffie's Ninjutsu).

The materia should be given to whichever party member most heavily relies on magic damage. This will normally be Aerith or Yuffie, given Aerith's naturally high magic attribute and her Arcane Ward to double-cast spells, and Yuffie's Doppelganger allowing her the ability to double-cast. Cloud and Cait Sith can make for equally potent spellcasters if called upon, and both have battles they need to take on solo, but any party member whose damage will primarily come from magic damage should ideally equip the materia.

The materia somewhat competes with Magic Focus Materia Magic Focus Materia, which improves the output of the paired materia. However, magic focus will only improve the spells from one specific materia, while Magic Up will improve the party member's abilities to cast all spells. If materia slots are permitting, both should be equipped. The player can further increase magic damage with a magic-focused weapon and with Faith Faith.
