Is it decided by randomness or by the player? If so, you should rephrase that... something like *ability name* (no cost) skip attack phase and generate :air :air instead.
Nice mechanic.
So, tell me my friend, what can you see? What comes into your mind as you breathe?

The intent isn't to skip the attack phase though. Your other creatures would still attack.

I assume asymmetry meant skip the attack phase for that one specific creature

Yes, my idea is this! Sorry if i'm not able to explain well, my english is so bad  :(
Only this creature don't attack, if the controller want to get 2 quanta.

Maybe have it be activated so that you make your decision before the attack phase? Something like "Generate  :air :air: : This creature doesn't attack this turn." Even though that wording is weird since it makes generating the quanta the cost of the ability it still works almost the same except its spendable right then. If you really want to delay using that quanta for a turn you could do something like "0: This creature doesn't attack this turn. At the end of your turn generate  :air :air".

"0: This creature doesn't attack this turn. At the end of your turn generate  :air :air".
^This would be the ideal way to phrase this kind of a card.
0: This creature doesn't attack this turn. [Insert alternative effect like snipe or :air :air]

I think the best way to set up the ability would be:

0: Generate  :air :air. Eolic Generator is delayed for 1 turn.

This way is good because it uses something that's already completely coded into the game.
