    Any spell you cast that doesn't have the type creature will cause prowess to trigger. If a spell has multiple types, and one of those types is creature (such as an artifact creature), casting it won't cause prowess to trigger. Playing a land also won't cause prowess to trigger.

  • WotCNov 24, 2014

    Casting a noncreature spell will cause both prowess and Monastery Mentor's other ability to trigger. You can put these abilities on the stack in either order. Whichever ability is put on the stack last will resolve first.

  • WotCNov 24, 2014

    Once it triggers, prowess isn't connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.

  • WotCNov 24, 2014

    Prowess goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger. It will resolve before that spell.

  • WotCNov 24, 2014

    Prowess triggers only once for any spell, even if that spell has multiple types.

  • WotCNov 24, 2014

    The spell that causes Monastery Mentor's second ability to trigger will not cause the prowess ability of the Monk token that's created to trigger.
