Beseech the Mirror rulings
Bargain means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token."
Bargain represents an optional additional cost. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is "bargained."
You may sacrifice only one artifact, enchantment, or token to pay a spell's bargain cost.
If you copy a bargained spell, the copy is also bargained. If a card or token enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent that's already on the battlefield, the new permanent isn't bargained, even if the original was.
Some instant and sorcery spells require additional targets if they're bargained. You ignore those targeting requirements if those spells aren't bargained, and you can't bargain those spells unless you can choose the appropriate targets. On the other hand, you can bargain a permanent spell even if you won't be able to choose targets for an enters-the-battlefield ability of that permanent once the spell resolves.

Bargain Rule 702.166
Bargain is a static ability that functions while the spell with bargain is on the stack. “Bargain” means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token.” Paying a spell’s bargain cost follows the rules for paying additional costs in rules and –h.
If a spell’s controller declares the intention to pay that spell’s bargain cost, that spell has been “bargained.” See rule .
Objects with bargain have additional abilities that specify what happens if they were bargained. These abilities are linked to the bargain ability printed on that object: they can refer only to that specific bargain ability. See rule , “Linked Abilities.”
If part of a spell’s ability has its effect only if that spell was bargained and that part of the ability includes any targets, the spell’s controller chooses those targets only if that spell was bargained. Otherwise, the spell is cast as if it did not have those targets. See rule .
