White spells and black spells you cast cost less to cast.
Each Stormscape apprentice must hand-raise and train an owl before attaining the rank of master.

This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
(wotc • 2004-10-04)
Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
(wotc • 2004-10-04)
If a spell is both white and black, you pay {1} less, not {2} less.
(wotc • 2004-10-04)
If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell’s cost, the cost reduction still applies.
(wotc • 2004-10-04)
The generic X cost is still considered generic even if there is a requirement that a specific color be used for it. For example, “only black mana can be spent this way”. This distinction is important for effects which reduce the generic portion of a spell’s cost.
(wotc • 2004-10-04)
The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
