Its ability reads: "Whenever you scry, you may pay {2}. If you do, this enchantment deals 2 damage to any target."
Knowledge and Power has a mana cost of {4}{R}, which equals 5.0 total mana (converted mana cost/mana value).
It requires R mana to cast.
Mana cost is the amount and type of mana required to cast a spell in Magic: The Gathering.
Knowledge and Power's mana cost of {4}{R} means you need to pay that much mana from your lands or other sources.

Converted mana cost (now officially called "mana value") is the total amount of mana in a card's mana cost, regardless of color.
