• 2016-07-13You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
• 2016-07-13If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
• 2016-07-13If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
• 2016-07-13Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.

• 2016-07-13Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
