Reminds me rather of Spellgorger Barbarian. In fact, um, it's just a straight upgrade, isn't it? Not at all overpowered, though. So... yeah, fair enough.
Huh. Nice. Yes, I could get behind this as white's take on Elvish Visionary effects.
It'd be even more suited to blue (the colour most likely to make Long-Term Plans), except that blue already gets cantrip creatures of every flavour anyway.
Huh. That's interesting. Banking that the card you find is better than anything they can get. So strong for a combo deck and of course political in multiplayer.
I have since come around to consider this kind of effect inappropriate for cheap spells like here, but better as an additional effect e. g. ETB effect on a mid-cost creature.
I know this is just a colorshift of Mana Leak (which is kinda insane in its own right), but I feel like this would be much more interesting, balanced, flavorful, and less of a color pie concern if it somehow told the opponent of it's existence beforehand. Aka something along the lines of Silences Yet Unmoved which is a design I basically stumbled upon.
Maybe like that one mechanic where you first cast/place the spell into exile (face-up revealed) and then "actually" cast it from there.

Or compare to Soulmender. I figure it's got to take a lot of enchantments to out put one life per turn on average.
Compare Underworld Coinsmith. I agree this simpler version could be common, in a set with enough enchantments to matter.

Rituals.
Note: Research why I chose to write the trigger condition for the delayed triggered ability after the effect. Standard wording?

For my Silmarillion set I went with Unfathomable Depths.
