What Does Linked Materia Do?
Equip Multiple Materia In Conjunction For Special Effect
Certain weapons and accessories, will have a 'linked' Materia slot available for use, represented by image of 2 circles connected. By equipping Support Materia and a specific compatible Materia in that slot allows you to fuse and upgrade its magic effect.
Only Certain Materias Are Link Combo Compatible
Although all Materias may fit and used separately in the linked slot, only certain Materias will be compatible for combo usage . For example, 'Healing' & 'Magnify' will work, but 'Magnify' & 'Parry' will not.
Equipment Effects Combo Effect
Certain Materia Combos, for example 'Elemental' + 'Fire' (or any other magic elements) can yield a different effect based on what you equip this on. When equipped on a weapon, it will give elemental bonus damage to your weapon's attacks, whereas when equipped on armor will give the character a bonus resistance to that element.
