Slaying Fire deals 3 damage to any target. Adamant — If at least three red mana was spent to cast this spell, it deals 4 damage instead.

The purest virtue burns brighter than the sun and hotter than dragonfire.

Rulings (4)

Adamant effects check what mana was actually spent to cast a spell. If an effect allows you to spend mana “as though it were mana” of any color or type, that allows you to spend mana you couldn't otherwise spend, but it doesn't change what mana you spent to cast the spell.

If you copy a spell that has an adamant ability, no mana was spent to cast the copy at all, so that ability won't apply.

If an instant or sorcery spell has an adamant ability, you perform the spell's instructions in order. You don't perform the adamant instruction before the spell resolves or before any other effects printed above it.
