Mechanic Contest
For this contest, I want you to invent a new mechanic from these four keywords below:
Here are the keywords (I recommend a dictionary):
*Consonance*
*Discharge*
*Harmonize*
*Forge*
I will pick a winner for each keyword. Winners shall receive three favorites on any card he or she chooses. When this contest exceeds 40 entries, I will judge. Good luck!

probably OP, considering the stacking possibilities for this, but hey, I was rushed.
Consonance - If [you / a player] cast another spell this turn with the same converted mana cost as this spell [blah, blah, blah]

http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/charged-bolt-2?list=user (I prefer this)
Thoughts appreciated.
I was gonna go with - A.... but it's a Vowel

Forge

Forge N. (To forge N, search your library for an artifact card with converted mana cost N or less and reveal it. Put a token that's a copy of it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.)

Forge X. (You may exile cards from the top of your library to help cast this spell, each X cards you exile pays for 1 colorless mana)

I made two examples, a nonpermanent and a permanent.
Basically, it goes like this: Discharge - If you control no untapped lands, you may empty your mana pool. If you do [EFFECT]...
In this mechanic, the word "Discharge" means discharging you mana. First, by tapping all lands, then by emptying all mana.

I picked Harmonize, however I ended up misprinting a few cards as "Harmony".
Harmonize (When attacking or blocking, this creature gets +1/+1 for each other attacking or blocking creature you control.)

It would be a primarily white keyword that boosts weenie decks when they need it, but without allowing them to avoid burn or removal easily by having constant high toughness.
Big change is it only searches colorless equipment this time. And the cost is {2}{w}. Still not sure about if the cost is fair tho.

@michaelmvm Thanks! What do you mean "exile the artifact in your library" btw?
also, i will enter the contest soon.
That's a AWESOME IDEA! That makes significant change on the mechanic! Thanks!
New version is here. Please check it out!

Forge N. (Search your library for a colorless Equipment card and exile it. Then shuffle your library. Choose an Equipment card in exile with converted mana cost N or less, and put a token that's a copy of it onto the battlefield.)
Old versions were deleted, so ignore my previous comments.

Consonance (When you cast this spell, if there is a spell with the same converted mana cost as this card on the stack, copy this spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.)
Discharge N - [Cost] (You may cast this spell for its discharge cost. If you do, choose N lands you control. They don't untap during your next untap step.)
Harmonize- Whenever another creature with the same converted mana cost as this creature enters the battlefield under your control, effect…
Forge N (Search your library for an Equipment card and exile it. Then shuffle your library. Choose an Equipment card in exile with converted mana cost N or less, and put a token that's a copy of it onto the battlefield.)
Harmonize X- When you cast this spell reveal X card(s) from your hand that share(s) one or more colors, effect... and here's an example: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/blossoming-thought
For Discharge, I ended up making a very red Keyword ability:
Discharge X (This creature enters the battlefield with a discharge counter. Whenever you cast a spell, you may remove one discharge counter from this creature to deal X damage to target creature or player.)
Basic Creature to show the mechanic: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/goblin-zapmage-1?list=user
Sorcery to help recharge: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/overload-ritual?list=user
Big Dragon to show off how scary it can be: http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/blazing-hellkite-1?list=user
This keyword works well with both burn and non-burn red decks; provides a creature ability that goes well with all sorts of spells. If you wanted to make it less powerful, you could change it to "non-creature spell"; then it would favor burn decks over creature pumping.
It is slightly restricted by how it's a Keyword and not an Ability word, otherwise I could make it much more multi-color friendly by not being locked into just dealing damage when a counter is removed.
Forge - You may sacrifice a land as you cast this spell. If you do [effect]
