Secrets of Strixhaven (SOS)

Opus

The rule

An effect whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, and a stronger one if five or more mana was spent on that spell.

In play

These creatures want plenty of instants and sorceries; a spell that takes five or more mana to cast triggers the stronger version of the effect.
