Since it does nothing on its own, I figure {2}{u} is okay.

Reminds me somewhat of Meishin, the Mind Cage, Sphere of Safety, and Song of Serenity. I wonder why Song of Serenity doesn't use the term "enchanted creatures"? Maybe to make sure it isn't mistaken for an Aura itself?

So why does the second ability also affect not those enchanted?

> Creatures that are enchanted lose flying, can't gain flying, and get -X/-0, where X is the number of Auras you control.

Or if we really go with Song of Serenity maybe just

> Creatures that are enchanted don't untap during their controllers' untap steps.

The same favor could still apply, but it would be much cleaner and simpler.

­Meishin, the Mind Cage is definitely what I was going for. I realize now that the flavor doesn't quite line up, but I wanted a Cumber Stone-esque effect and this seemed like a good fit for a controlling blue rare. I didn't want to have a don't-untap clause, mostly because I already have a don't-untap clause at rare in Spirit of Floods.
