What it does
Whenever you cast a spell, this creature gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is that spell's mana value.
Urak froze when he heard it. That was his first mistake. He turned and cast a dramatic ward spell. That was his last.

Where it came from
Manaplasm was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set introduced the concept of 'shards,' which are five three-color planes that comprise the world of Alara. The card belongs to the Bant shard, a society characterized by its rigid caste system, focus on order, and commitment to noble virtues, though the creature itself reflects the raw, shifting elemental energy often associated with the chaotic aspects of the Alara setting.
The card was illustrated by the artist Dave Allsop. Known for his contributions to the dark fantasy aesthetic of the game, Allsop designed the creature as a translucent, shifting mass of fluid energy, emphasizing its mechanical function of growing larger as players cast subsequent spells. Upon its release, the card was viewed by players as a niche but flavorful inclusion, primarily utilized in casual 'Simic' or 'Green-White' archetype decks due to its unique ability to scale its power and toughness based on mana investment.
