Does using the battle action on Dance of the Void count for Water? Even though the battle action comes from "you" instead of a card.

Does using the battle action on Dance of the Void count for Water? Even though the battle action comes from "you" instead of a card.

The action does not come from you; it comes from Dance of the Void.

"(E)ffects and actions come 'from'... the card where the thing in question is originally physically printed.

"Example: Your event card gives another player an ability. The action from that ability, and its effects, are 'from' your cards(.)"

So it counts.
