Choose target spell. You get energy energy (two energy counters), then you may pay any amount of energy . Counter that spell unless its controller pays 1 generic mana for each energy paid this way.

Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.

Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
