Morph

Equip Effect: Adds "Morph" command to the battle menu. If the "Morph" command is used, the character will execute a physical attack that does about 1/8 of the damage a normal attack would inflict; however, if this weak attack is the killing blow, the enemy will often turn into an item.

Throw
Super Enemy-All: No
Buy: 10,000 (Condor Fort [post-meteor], Rocket Town [Post-meteor])

Equip Effect: Vitality +1. Adds the "Throw" command to your battle menu, allowing you to fling old weapons and other items at enemies for increased damage. At level 2 you get the "Coin Toss" command, where you select how much Gil you'd like to throw at an enemy. You can cause 1 HP of damage for every 10 gil. If you've got money to burn, I suppose it's an acceptable command...

Slash-All
Super Enemy-All: No
Buy: -
Sell: 1

Mimic
Super Enemy-All: No
Buy: -
Sell: 1
Find: Utai Area Materia Cave
Equip Effect: Adds the "Mimic" command to your battle list. The "mimic" command causes a character to imitate the last action taken by one of your party members. Items used in this way will not be removed from your inventory; spells do not use up MP. This cannot be used to imitate regular attacks, only items, spells, summons, commands, and limit breaks. Linking materia is also 'used' (e.g. if the original action involved a Fire3 spell linked to MP Absorb, the mimicked Fire3 spell would act as though linked to an MP Absorb.)

Master Command Materia
To get this materia, you must raise the Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow, Manipulate, and Mimic materia to Master level. This materia does not gain AP, and you must get another set of mastered materia to get another one. However, it is the easiest of the Master Materia to acquire.
