Colour fixing, and also a one turn bump. This isn't a particularly special clever or interesting card - but it's solid and fills an important hole in any set.
Which just makes it insane that it's a rare! (Well, U1 fallen empires insane rarity scheme yadda yadda)
It's also kind of punny that you sacrifice the implements themselves. But that's fine.
Still, Pentad Prism shows that you can get more mana out than this, and more flexibly; AND I'm going through trying to interact with proliferate. So reprint THAT instead. At uncommon.
Note: I am ignoring the at-the-time concern that Antiquities was still floating around at the time; so the colourless mana to cast this may well have been a thing. Also the pentad hanging around after use was to fuel affinity, which this then won't be doing. So yeah - couple of downsides and maybe I'll flip this back to being the implements at some point.
