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.
EDIT1:
> Seal of Disapproval
> Enchantment
> Sacrifice ~: Counter target spell unless its controller pays .
> Create a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flying, then add to your mana pool.
So like Volcanic Dragon but can help you cast your Ball Lightnings. Note that it would cost 6 but give 5 so it wouldn't be entirely free (you couldn't chain them). Also a neat thing with in the cost, creates a 5/5 and adds 5 to your mana pool.

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.

Not where red's current CA mechanics went.

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

EDIT2:
For my Silmarillion set I went with Unfathomable Depths.
I could see this being a common. Would be very nice in an enchantment heavy/focused environment. I also would consider pushing the mana cost down to
.
Hmmm... I'll might make use of this in the Silmarillion set: it has enchantment themes + a
limited archetype focused around lifegain triggers to boot.
It definitely should make the sacrifice an additional cost. Recurring Nightmare is super broken.
Doesn't look that comparable to Recurring Nightmare since you can throw this at instant speed and if you have no creatures in play, it's Zombify with flash (as the sac isn't part of the cost per se). Closer to cards such as Makeshift Mannequin and Rescue from the Underworld.
Cool name, cool card. Somewhat similar to Spawning Breath.
This seems like a very bad idea. Tolarian Winds is pretty strong as far as I know.
I would modify this into:
> Dragonfire
> Sorcery (rare/uncommon?)
> Create a 5/5 red Dragon creature token with flying, then add
to your mana pool.
