Manaform Hellkite
Creature — Dragon
Flying
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, create an X/X red Dragon Illusion creature token with flying and haste, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast that spell. Exile that token at the beginning of the next end step.

Manaform Hellkite's triggered ability looks at the mana that was actually spent to cast the spell, which may be different than the mana cost of that spell. For example, if you cast a noncreature spell without paying its mana cost, this ability creates a 0/0 Dragon Illusion token. In most cases, such a creature would immediately be put into your graveyard.
