Water is an element in Final Fantasy VI. Water is strong against almost all machine-type enemies. Strago has some good water spells in his Lore, but otherwise water is a fairly rare element. To get Mog's water Dance, the player should raft through Lethe River with him in the party. Imp equipment absorbs water damage.
