    As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice an artifact. Create two tapped Powerstone tokens. If the sacrificed artifact was legendary, draw a card. (The tokens are artifacts with " tap : Add colorless mana . This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

    As the glowing stone broke apart, so too did the last shred of the brothers' bond.

    Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.

    You can use the colorless mana added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn't a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.

    Powerstone tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype "Powerstone" and the ability " tap : Add colorless mana . This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell."
