Radiant Flames

Radiant Flames Query

Lets say that I spend R + .5W + .5U + .5B + .5G to cast Radiant Flames, where ".5C" represents half a mana. How much damage does it deal to each creature? What if I just spent 2.5R + .5W or 1.5R + .5W + 1 generic mana?

In silver-bordered world, Converge counts each color even if it’s only half a mana.

Silver Bordered Mana

According to the FAQTIWDAWCC, pink, brown, and hazel are colors in silver bordered land. So if you have some other method to generate half mana of any color, and have increased the cost of Radiant Flames (using something like Thorn of Amethyst), could you theoretically do 8 damage with it?

Theoretically.

Radiant Flames Mechanics

What about making Radiant Flames do 5 damage, using half a White, half a Blue, half a Black, half Green, and the final Red that I got from one of each basic land, and then spend the leftover 4 halves on something else? Is that cool as long as we're playing in silver-bordered land?

It’s cool.
