To pull off this infinite mana loop, you first need to awaken **Everflowing Chalice** by casting it with enough multikicker so that tapping it produces at least three mana—more than enough to fuel the engine. **Ensoul Artifact** is the crucial catalyst that transforms that mundane chalice into a 5/5 artifact creature, making it a legal and eligible target for **Voltaic Construct**. Once the animated chalice is tapped for its bounty of mana, you pay two of that mana into the construct's ability to untap it, leaving you with a net gain of colorless energy every single iteration.
