Tools

Tools is a special ability and a battle command that is first used by Edgar in Final Fantasy VI. This ability allows a character to select from a few mechanical devices to attack an enemy with. Each tool has a different effect.

Final Fantasy VI
In Final Fantasy VI, there are eight tools, and all of them are obtainable items. Tools are specifically used by Edgar, although it is also possible for Gogo to use a tool if he uses Mimic after Edgar has used that same tool. There is more than one way to obtain each tool, therefore making it possible for the party to have more than one of a tool. Every tool can be sold as an item. Using the Steal command on certain enemies is always one way to obtain a tool. Nearly every tool can be bought at Figaro Castle, where even more become available for purchase after the Narshe battle sequence. If Edgar is in the lead after the Narshe battle sequence or during the World of Ruin, the tools in Figaro Castle can be bought for half the price.
