Urabrask’s second ability isn’t a mana ability, even though it causes you to add mana. It uses the stack and can be responded to.

After chapter III of The Great Work resolves, casting spells from graveyards follows the normal rules for casting those cards. You must pay their costs, and you must follow all applicable timing rules. For example, to cast a sorcery spell from a graveyard, you can do so by paying its mana cost only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

Urabrask will count any instant or sorcery spells you’ve cast during the turn, whether those spells resolved, didn’t resolve, were countered, or left the stack some other way. Urabrask won’t count copies of instant and sorcery spells that were created on the stack and not cast.
