Um...

Also @ Urthdigger the elemental potency isn't a % increase, it's pretty much a more specialized Attack Magic Potency since it comes in larger quantities in gear/materia but only applies to one element.

Like Meleena said, the potency stuff doesn't seem to work for PGL atm but hopefully it will someday, it would be a nice use of the foot slot as far as materia goes.
