              the effectiveness of the connect materia is reduced by
              33 percent.  You can use a spell on a single target and

FUNCTION:     When a spell, summon, or Enemy Skill is used, it will be
              cast four times in succession, yet the MP cost is the same
              as if you had only used that power once.  However, you
              cannot pick your targets; they are choosen at random.
              Furthermore, the effectiveness of the chosen power drops
              by 2/5ths.

              forward and use the connected materia before any allies
              or enemies can make an action or attack.  This materia
              functions regardless to situations like Pre-emptive or
              Ambush-style battles.  Note that the target of the ally's
              action is chosen randomly, and that the CPU will always
              make the ally use the best ability he currently has (Coin
              instead of Throw, Cure 3 instead of Cure 2, etc.)
CAN SUPPORT:  Any spell materia, any command materia, any summon
              materia.

NOTES:        Charles Lee notes that there is a direct relation between
              the success rate of this materia, and your Dexterity level.
              He suggests equipping an accessory that raises Dexterity,
              or wearing a Speed Plus materia, in order to take advantage
              of this relationship.
