For Challenge # 081.
Another obvious different mana cost is
which is similar to
but a bit cheaper. I pondered for ages for three abilities which were weak enough to be cast for less than
divided by three. I decided it was probably roughly equivalent to a cantrip ability, one that fits on a 1-cost spell with "draw a card" as well.
I wasn't sure about the flavour. I had two abilities related to fortune-telling or telepathy, but the unblockability didn't fit. I considered trying to make it illusionist-themed with a "change the colour of target spell", but decided the evasion+mental magic spelt sphinx.
Mmm, sensible. Sphinx is a good flavour for it, too.
