When you unlock this door, this Room deals 6 damage to target creature an opponent controls. You gain life equal to the excess damage dealt this way. (You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.) // Once during each of your turns, you may cast a spell from your hand by paying life equal to its mana value rather than paying its mana cost. (You may cast either half. That door unlocks on the battlefield. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it.)

Any time you have priority during a main phase of your turn and the stack is empty, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door (also called its "unlock cost"). That door becomes unlocked. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

Some doors have abilities that trigger whenever you unlock that door and require one or more targets. You can unlock that door even if there would be insufficient legal targets for that triggered ability. The triggered ability won't go on the stack.

Each Room card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one of those names, but not both.
