it's something of a "universal" type of magic. an infinite power source. like oil or nuclear power, but never-ending.

it was later revealed that embedding people with Materia would grant them elemental powers, but not all people have the same kinds of power, as it depends on their DNA map (e.g. Yuko's electricty and Eiji's ice powers)
