Cramped Vents / Access Maze

Enchantment — Room

(You may cast either half of this spell, unlocking the door to that room when it enters. This card has the abilities, colour and mana cost of that room. As a sorcery, you may pay the mana cost of a locked door to unlock it. The abilities, colour and mana cost of that door are added to this permanent. If this enchantment enters without being cast, both rooms will be locked. Copying this enchantment also copies the locked status of the rooms.)

Cramped Vents

When you unlock this door, this Room deals 6 damage to target creature an opponent controls. You gain life equal to the excess damage dealt this way.


Access Maze

Once during each of your turns, you may cast a spell from your hand by paying life equal to its converted mana cost/mana value rather than paying its mana cost.

I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).
