== Elements ==
 
There are nine different elements in the video game. An elemental attack can deal extra damage to the target, and an elemental protection can halve, nullify or absorb (heal instead of get hit) the damage from an elemental attack.
 
The following table lists all the elemental attacks in the columns Magic materia, Summon materia and Enemy skill, and the elemental protections in the columns Armlets and Accessories. See also the Support materia page about the blue Elemental materia.
 
Many enemies use elemental attacks and have elemental weaknesses and resistances, but they are listed in another page.
 
The Holy element is mainly associated to healing spells; if used on undead enemies, they will be damaged instead. Also, undead enemies are healed by death spells.

== Lucky Sevens ==
==Lucky Sevens==
'''Lucky Sevens''' (sometimes called "7 Fever") is an unusual status that affects all characters (both party members and bosses) that happen to have ''precisely'' 7777 HP remaining. The character who hits 7777 HP will go berserk, and hit enemies multiple times for 7777 damage. After the battle, the character will drop to 1 HP.
'''Lucky Sevens''' (sometimes called "7 Fever") is an unusual status that affects all characters (both party members and bosses) that happen to have ''precisely'' 7,777 HP remaining. The character who hits 7,777 HP will go berserk, and hit enemies multiple times for 7,777 damage. After the battle, the character will drop to 1 HP.
 
Lucky Sevens is one of the well-favoured strategies for beating the [[Final Fantasy VII/Enemy Weapons|Weapons]] and other really big bosses. It's possible to get to the Lucky Sevens state at the beginning of the battle by strategically damaging and healing the character so that they have 7,777 HP at the beginning of the battle.

One of the things you can also do is a trick where you poison a boss and simultaneously cause it to get Lucky Sevens - this way, the poison damage is 7,777 too, and some elementary math shows that 7,777 HP - 7,777 HP = 0 HP. A difficult trick to pull off, but one of the fastest ways to dispatch a tricky boss like the Materia Keeper, for [http://speeddemosarchive.com/FinalFantasy7.html speedrunning] purposes.
