Looking for custom ability help

I'm in the process of making a new set and I introduced a ability called chaos spiral and I want to see if there were anyways to rephrase it to make more sense or make it shorter.

Current phrasing: Chaos Spiral —(Possible cost): (ability) (Whenever a Chaos Spiral ability is activated or triggered, flip a coin. If the coin flip was tails, the Chaos Spiral ability does not resolve.)

Examples

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    I would word it like this.

    Chaos Spiral - [cost] : Flip a coin. If you win the flip, effect..

    Chaos Spiral - [Trigger condition], flip a coin. If you win the flip, effect..

    You can change the wording for the abilitys' types.

    Chaos Spiral reminds me of Threshold. Cephalid Sage, Barbarian Ring, Nimble Mongoose,,
    But the name "Chaos Spiral" can't be used on static ability. Because "flip a coin" is an action.
