If the copied spell is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can't choose a different one.
wotc29 Sept 2017
The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
wotc29 Sept 2017
If the copied spell has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.
wotc29 Sept 2017
You can't choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too. For example, if you sacrifice a 3/3 creature to cast Fling, and you copy it, the copy of Fling will also deal 3 damage to its target.
wotc29 Sept 2017
The mana produced by Primal Wellspring can be spent on anything, not just an instant or sorcery spell.
wotc29 Sept 2017
Primal Wellspring's delayed triggered ability can copy the spell even if that spell is countered before the ability resolves.
