# Splitting the Powerstone
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}{U}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Sorcery

## Oracle Text
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 "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

> *Als der leuchtende Stein in Stücke brach, zerbrach auch der letzte Rest an Verbundenheit zwischen den Brüdern.*
