Flying Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain control of target creature with that spell's mana value until end of turn.

Its fiery visitation burns away the fog of war and dissipates the ties of loyalty.

Rulings (1)

If the Spirit or Arcane spell has X generic mana in the mana cost, then you use the value of X generic mana on the stack. For example, Shining Shoal costs X generic mana white mana white mana . If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal's mana value is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says "You may exile a white card with mana value X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal's mana cost"; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with mana value 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its mana value is 4.
