Here's the general portion of the item list. Everything appears in the order the game stores them internally. Items are briefly explained as needed.

For brevity's sake, on this page I'm shortening magic defense to MDef, evade rate to evade, magic evade rate to MEvd, and magic power to magic.

The basic damage formula for pretty much everything is Damage = (A - D) * M. It's what goes into A, D, and M that makes things interesting.

Since M acts as a damage multiplier, anything that modifies M modifies final damage. Modifiers to A and D have more complicated effects on final damage because A and D are compared to each other on the way to computing final damage. Note that most calculations are truncated (rounded down).

Items
　ポーション　　　　PotionSell Value: 20

Recovers 50 HP, doubled if used in combat with the Chemist's Medicine Lore ability. The Undead take damage instead.
　ハイポーション　　High PotionSell Value: 180

Recovers 500 HP, doubled if used in combat with the Chemist's Medicine Lore ability. The Undead take damage instead.
　エーテル　　　　　EtherSell Value: 750

　エリクサー　　　　ElixirSell Value: 5

Recovers all HP and MP. Reduces Undead that are not Heavy to single-digit HP. Undead that are also Heavy are unaffected.
　フェニックスのお　Phoenix TailSell Value: 500

Removes 'incapacitated' and recovers 25% of max HP. Inflicts 'incapacitated' instead against the Undead. Always hits 'incapacitated' targets that are not Undead, always misses live targets that are not Undead.

Hit rate against the Undead = (75 + user's level - target's level)%. Ignores 'incapacitated' immunity but fails against Heavy targets.
　おとめのキッス　　Maiden's KissSell Value: 30

Removes 'toad' status.
　せいすい　　　　　Holy WaterSell Value: 75

Removes 'zombie' status and recovers some HP. Damages the Undead instead.

A = Random(30, 33), D = MDef, M = (level * magic)/256 + 4.
　かめのこうら　　　Turtle ShellSell Value: 75

Used in mixes. Tends to produce defensive effects... more often than anything else, at least.
　どくけし　　　　　AntidoteSell Value: 15

Removes 'poison' status.
　めぐすり　　　　　EyedropsSell Value: 10

Removes 'darkness' status.
　りゅうのきば　　　Dragon FangSell Value: 2500

　うちでのこづち　　Lucky MalletSell Value: 25

Removes 'minimum' status.
　ダミー　　　　　　DummySell Value: 0

No effect.
　まほうのランプ　　Magic LampSell Value: 5000

Summons something. The first usage will summon Bahamut, the second Leviathan, and so on through the summon list until reaching Chocobo (Phoenix is skipped). Further uses will continue summoning Chocobo, but after 20 times, it starts casting Egg Chop instead, which does nothing except display the message しかし、チョップはとどかなかった ("However, the chop didn't reach."). Returning to where you found the lamp will recharge it and reset the summoning to Bahamut.

As when summoning normally, Odin may use either Zantetsuken or Gungnir, and Chocobo may randomly be Fatso Chocobo instead of the usual Chocobo Kick.
　テント　　　　　　TentSell Value: 125

Use at save points. Partial recovery for the party and cures status effects except 'zombie'.
　コテージ　　　　　CottageSell Value: 300

Use at save points. More recovery for the party and cures status effects except 'zombie'.
　きょじんのくすり　Giant DrinkSell Value: 55

Use with Chemist's !Drink. Doubles maximum HP for the rest of the battle, and also doubles current HP, both to a maximum of 9999. After drinking one, drinking another one in the same battle has no additional effect.
　ちからのくすり　　Strength DrinkSell Value: 55

Use with Chemist's !Drink. Adds 20 to throw attack of each equipped weapon. Multiple uses stack, up to 255 throw attack.

Whether this is a bug or just an oversight, Strength Drinks are nearly useless. Throw attack of equipped weapons is only used when determining damage for Goblin Punch. You can't use these to raise attack damage or even !Throw damage.
　スピードドリンク　Speed DrinkSell Value: 55

Use with Chemist's !Drink. Gives 'haste' status, removes 'slow' status.
　プロテスドリンク　Protect DrinkSell Value: 55
