***'''117.3c''' Activating mana abilities is not mandatory, even if paying a cost is.<blockquote>'''''Example:''' A player controls <c>Thorn of Amethyst</c>, which says "Noncreature spells cost {{1}} more to cast." Another player removes the last time counter from a suspended sorcery card. That player must cast that spell if able, but doing so costs {{1}}. The player is forced to spend {{1}} if enough mana is in his or her mana pool, but the player isn't forced to activate a mana ability to produce that {{1}}. If he or she doesn't, the card simply remains exiled.''</blockquote>
