Equips "Morph" command
Description
Morph is a Command Materia in Final Fantasy VII equipped to provide the ability Morph. This ability performs a physical attack against an enemy at 1/8th strength of a normal attack; if it kills the enemy, it provides an item. Morph can also be provided by the Master Command Materia.
Obtained
Morph can be obtained at the Temple of the Ancients.
As it can only be obtained once, the only way to have multiple Morph Materia is to master it. This requires a large 100000, meaning that it is best to equip weapons and armor with Double or Triple AP.

Use
The Morph Materia provides the Morph command. It does not come with stat changes.
The Morph ability is capable of obtaining items from enemies. Morph performs a physical attack, ignoring row, at 1/8th the power of a normal attack (Yuffie's ultimate weapon being the exception), and if successful, will place an item in the player's inventory. This item remains even if the player runs from the battle and can be used even at the Battle Square.
Morphing is especially useful when turning enemies into stat boosting sources. This is required to max out stats, and will be the most common use of the ability.
As the ability is based on the success of a physical attack to kill an enemy, it is best given to characters with a high Strength stat to make them more likely to kill the enemy. This includes Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and Cid. However, Yuffie's Conformer ignores the 1/8th damage penalty, making her the best character to use the ability, especially when paired with Mega All.
Morph can be linked with several Support Materia. However, as Morph should rarely be used as a primary attack due to its damage penalty, few of them are useful.
