"Jasper Spellstone can be upgraded over multiple turns by using the basic Druid hero Power 3 times. It will show partial progress on the card. If you gain 6 armor all at once Lesser Jasper Spellstone will upgrade into Jasper Spellstone. " - Mike Donais

Right. Spellstones can be upgraded over multiple turns and it shows progress on the card dynamically as you go.

However the priest legendary weapon specifically states that you have to cast 3 spells in one turn to summon a 5/5 dragon so it works in the opposite way.

Makes me wonder how they are going to keep track of this with small incremental additions while the card is in your hand. A sherezin type UI would be too visually busy.

The most logical would be to update the text with the new requirement whenever you fulfil part of it.

Example: After restoring 2 health, the text changes from (Restore 3 Health to Upgrade) and becomes (Restore 1 Health to Upgrade)

It changes to (Restore 1 more Health to Upgrade)

Three questions:

What are the upgrades?

Is the minion/Spirit summoned an Elemental?

Restore 3 health: to your hero, to your minions, both?
1. 4/4 and 6/6. Still for 2 mana.
2. They have no minion type.
3. Restore 3 health to anything.
