At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. Then if that creature has power 7 or greater, this creature becomes prepared. (While it's prepared, you may cast a copy of its spell. Doing so unprepares it.) // Until end of turn, any time you could activate a mana ability, you may pay 1 life. If you do, add .

Preparation cards can only be cast with their base characteristics.

A preparation card is a creature card in every zone. For example, while it's in your graveyard, Emeritus of Ideation is a blue creature whose mana value is 5. It can't be the target of Zealous Lorecaster's triggered ability ("When this creature enters, return target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard to your hand.").

If a prepared creature stops being a creature, it will still be prepared, and the copy of its prepare spell will remain in exile. That permanent's controller will still be able to cast it. The same is true if a prepared creature becomes a copy of something else, even if it's then a permanent without a prepare spell.
