As an additional cost to cast this spell, waterbend {X}. (While paying a waterbend cost, you can tap your artifacts and creatures to help. Each one pays for {1}.)

If all targets of Crashing Wave become illegal before it resolves, the spell will not resolve at all and you will not distribute any stun counters, even if the opponent still controls some tapped creatures.

You decide how to distribute the stun counters as Crashing Wave resolves, and you can put the counters on any tapped creatures your opponents control, not just creatures tapped by Crashing Wave.

To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
