Rift -- This is a keyword mechanic for the 'esper' color combination.
I wanted something similar to Suspend, but didn't want to involve time counters. I kinda blended Suspend with Psychic Intrusion's wording.
Rift [cost] (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay [cost] and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.)
Now, I'm not sure if this is the best wording for this. Or perhaps if it could be cleaned up a bit. The 'idea' story wise is that Rifts are opening up in the fabric of reality in this realm due to a mystical storm. There are those that can travel into these rifts and return to the realm.
Here are a few examples.
Glittering Angel1WW
Creature — Angel (U)
Flying
Rift 3WW (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay 3WW and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.)
When Glittering Angel enters the battlefield, if it was cast from exile, exile another target permanent. Return that card to the battlefield under its owner’s control at the beginning of the next end step.
2/3
Conscious ManipulatorU
Creature — Faerie Wizard (U)
Flying
Rift UU (Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay UU and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.)
When Conscious Manipulator enters the battlefield, put the top five cards of target opponent's library into his or her graveyard. If Conscious Manipulator was cast from exile, put the top seven cards of that opponent's library into his or her graveyard instead.
1/1
Felblade Throatcutter1BB
Creature — Human Knight (U)
Rift 3BB(Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay 3BB and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.)
Deathtouch
When Felblade Throatcutter enters the battlefield, if it was cast from exile, target creature gets -3/-3 until end of turn.

Jalgarian AsceticWUB
Creature — Human Wizard (U)
Rift 2WUB(Rather than cast this card from your hand, you may pay 2WUB and exile it from your hand. You may cast it from exile as though it had flash without paying it’s mana cost.)
When Jalgarian Ascetic enters the battlefield, draw a card. If Jalgarian Ascetic was cast from exile, target player discards a card.

Any feedback with this ability would be very helpful.
I would go with simply remove "from your hand" after "exile it" and correct the apostrophe in "its." You're doomed to a certain amount of text-heaviness here and I would check your cards to see that their texts fit, particularly Manipulator.
How about Rift [cost] ([cost]: Exile this card from your hand, then cast it without paying it's mana cost.)
Based on Madness, the flash inclusion seems unnecessary. Changing it to an activation inside the reminder text is shorter.
I think the idea with the flash is that you can exile a card with Rift, then either cast it right away for the bonus effect (or reduced cost + drawback I suppose) or leave it in exile and use it as an instant later.
Edit: Oops, total necro. Wasn't paying enough attention. Hopefully somebody finds this useful in some way?
