Rulings
- October 14, 2022 — The third ability applies only to casting spells. It does not, for example, change when you may activate abilities that can be activated "only as a sorcery."
- October 14, 2022 — The last ability cares only about the amount of mana that was actually spent to cast the spell, regardless of its mana cost.
