• Binding and Warding Materia – Combining these two will grant you resistance to the debuff when enemies try to use them on you.
• Magic and Magic Efficiency Materia – The best of this combination comes with combining Healing Materia with the Magic Efficiency Materia but any magic spell will do. This makes it so that the spell costs less MP to cast, saving you MP in the long run.
• Magic/Healing/Time and Magnify Materia – The Magnify Materia enhances the potency of the Materia that it is linked to. This is great when used with magic Materia or healing Materia as it will enhance the damage or healing done.

Think about adding the Level Boost Materia to ability Materia to increase the Chakra ability or even the Prayer ability.
