Fun flavour. Power level seems fine; could possibly be down at 1 mana like Electrostatic Bolt or Galvanic Blast, but 2 is also fine.
Interesting question: When has a creature "attacked". Is it after it is declared to be attacking; or is it only after it has finished combat?
Because "Deal 4 damage to target attacking creature" is kinda white and useful :)
@Alex, yeah I wondered if this was weak, but I think it's somewhat counterbalanced that the 4-mode is requires a lot fewer hoops. You don't always have a bunch of artifacts around, but killing creatures attacking you is almost always good :)
@Vitekna: The intention was "attacking creature", but I decided to let it hit creatures after combat too. I assume "attacked" turns on after declaring attackers, just like "when this attacks" triggers after declaring attackers, not at end of combat. And yes, it is white-ish, but red does damage-to-attacker occasionally, and this obviously can't be white as half the time it does 2 damage to anything.
