Black Materia
Final Fantasy VII
Ultimate Power
Shrouded in mystery and known to very few people, it has remained untouched since the time of Jenova and the Ancients. Many believed it was hidden in the depths of the Temple of the Ancients, but this isn't entirely true.
While the Materia's name suggests it is black, when the light hits it, it can appear blue or purple. When the materia is not transformed, it is in the shape of an Aztec pyramid. When it is changed it turns into a spherical ball, which is more typical of other materia.
Sephiroth Acquires the Materia
When Sephiroth fell into The Lifestream and remained dorment there, he learnt of the Black Materia's incredible power. It was here that he began his plot to claim it, and to use it in order to achieve what Jenova had failed to do before.When Cloud and the others arrive at the temple, they learn deep inside that the Black Materia is infact the Temple itself. This was something that the Cetra devised to stop people being able to use the Black Materia, as it shrinks to a fraction of the size, crushing all those inside. When Cait Sith solves the puzzles inside the temple, only then does it transform into a more suitable size. However, his body is crushed inside the temple when it shrinks. Cloud is then manipulated afterwards by Sephiroth, who forces him to hand over the Black Materia.
Sephiroth Summons Meteor
When the party defeats Jenova DEATH at the whirlwind maze, they manage to reacquire the Black Materia. Following the earlier events, Cloud decides to give it to another party member, so that he can't be manipulated again.Unfortunatly Jenova under the guise of Cloud confuses that party member to go to Cloud with the materia. Thus, Cloud is manipulated once again. This is the second time he ends up giving Sephiroth the Black Materia and this time Sephiroth uses it to summon Meteor, causing the the materia to be lost in the centre of the planet.
