I just wanted to make a self destructing card

[NeoRWBY65]

Spell Armor
LIGHT
Level 7
Machine/Effect
Cannot be normal or special summoned unless you control 3 or more face-up Spell Cards. This card gains 1000 ATK for each spell or trap card you control. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. If you have 2 or less face-up Spell cards: destroy this card.
ATK ?/DEF 0

Interesting.

Don't see why the ATK is determined by opponent's monsters though. That means it can't attack directly or take on one raging boss. Surely it should be 1000 x spells.

Killed by Heavy Storm but that's fine given the way you can drop a 3000 ATK monster (if change is made).

Changed it to fit your idea

[color=#000066][b]Heavy/MST/etc are big threat, but in Spellcasters, this is kinda broken-ish. Dunno. 8/10. Also, I think more newer OCG would be like: [/b][/color]
[color=#000066][b]This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by controlling 3 or more face-up Spell Cards and cannot be Special Summoned other ways. This card gains 1000 ATK for each face-up Spell or Trap card you control. If you control 2 or less face-up Spell Cards: Destroy this card.[/b][/color]

I don't want it to special summon itself, and I want it to gain power from face down cards

What do you mean not special summon itself?

You mean that you have to use cards like Monster Reborn on it, but can only do so when you have the neccessary spell cards on the field?

Eh?

[color=#000066][b]>_> So only way you can Summon is by using Monster Reborn kinda stuff? ._. And only when you have 3 or more face-up Spell Cards? .-. Then my rating is 0/10. I wouldn't use. Ever.[/b][/color]

Changed it to make it Guardian like where it can be normal summoned, but you have to have the three spells out to normal summon or special summon it.
