Ward—Pay 2 life. (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays 2 life.)
Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.)
(14/10/2022)
Prowess goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger. It will resolve before that spell.
(14/10/2022)
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.
(14/10/2022)
Once it triggers, prowess isn't connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.
