Alternate casting costs are affected by Sphere of resistance, so FOW would either cost

or

, 1 life, and rfg a blue card. The same is true for gush's alternate casting cost as well.
Basically, any time you would play a spell, Sphere makes you pay

more for it (includes playing a card by prowl, playing an imprinted spell off isochron sceptor, and even playing a card without paying its mana cost from mind's desire - they all cost 1 more in addition to any other costs to play the card).
