You know, I really like all three effects here. I think a lot of people will get stuck on the "Must cast it with Fuse" mode, when the other two modes, especially Switch, are perfectly good spells in their own right.

I can never tell how much this sort of thing is supposed to cost. I got this odd problem of liking the effect, and simultaneously wishing we couldn't do this in Magic. I'm not a fan of circumnavigating the resource system... but I definitely get why other people are, and why they don't want to pay a premium to do what they think is fun. I guess this is right on the money?
