Water Crystal

In Final Fantasy VIII, the "Water Crystal" (水の結晶) is a recurring item typically used to create equipment. It possesses life-giving hydrating power and is a crystallized form of water magic. This item can be used to teach Quistis the blue magic "Aqua Breath." It can drop from level 20–29 Fastitocalon-F or any leveled Chimera, Fastitocalon, and Grand Mantis. Players can also mug it from Fastitocalon or modify it from a Fastitocalon card (1 for 1) or Fastitocalon-F card (5 for 1). Additionally, it can be refined into 50 Water spells, making it a useful item early in the game. Across the Final Fantasy series, the Water Crystal also appears as a significant plot element, as one of the four elemental Crystals, symbolizing the power of water, with different plot roles and stories in different games. For example, in other games, the Water Crystal is often found in important locations like Sunken Shrines, Cave of Tides, and is often tied to battles against powerful enemies.
