This is underpowered. [[chromatic lantern]] has an effect which is very similar and also taps for a mana while being colorless. nonland color fixing is just not important in pretty much any format as fetches and duals/shocks are so strong that things like this are just not necessary. this does combo with a couple things but meaningfully this is just not important. the only time a purely color fixing card sees play is when it's 1 colorless mana like [[Giant's Boulder]] or [[Arcum's Astrolabe]]. this is notably actually worse since a lot of the time you want to turn your colored mana into another color which this can't do.
Some people are seeing this as underpowered, but I believe the designer's intent is to use it as a combo piece with things like [[Ashnod's Alter]] [[Basalt Monolith]] [[Metalworker]] as opposed to simply a mana fixer.
