[yeah she's been telling people on her own SIPP. anyway!]
Sort of! It's more like a crystallized form of the energy force that's used for spells. Materia's made from mako, and mako's from the planet. It's...really powerful. Some materia's made in labs, but there's a lot that's also naturally formed. We use them for spells for things like fire or ice or other elements. [she thinks about what else needs to be covered here.]
A lot of the materia I keep in my staff is for healing, too. It helps so I can keep everyone safe with barriers or give them a second wind if they get hurt.
That's right. [she is but a squishy mage.] It's our materia, but we have other things that help, too. Potions and stuff. But even our magic can be depleted if the materia runs out of energy, and there're still some things we treat by hand with medicine, bandages and rest. It helps a lot, but it isn't needed to solve everything.

...Healing, huh? We've got magic in our world too, but nothing that can do that.
[the way the innocence can do so much except heal. lavi has no idea that there are people out here who can heal while using their life force,]
We've gotta fix all our wounds with medicine and bed rest.
