i would like to understand how her ability works, when a cast a spell for the first time it will trigger the heroic ability and the i choose wich creature i want to copy, right! My doubt is, what happens when a cast a spell on this "artisian of the forms/something copied" the heroic ability will work again or it only works once?

@Sorenssen: Her copy effect gives her the ability as she copies something else, so yes, you can use it again.
And, I've found a use for having her target herself! As was pointed out, that causes her to have two instances of the heroic ability, meaning she can switch twice off one spell. While testing the post-JOU version of my cipher deck, I've used that on occasion to have a Hidden Strings or Trait Doctoring copy have her turn into a Nivmagus Elemental long enough to exile it, then turn her into a Sage of Hours. It's fairly rare for the circumstances to emerge - for it to be possible and relevant I need all three out, her with three +1/+1 counters, and to hit with a single cipher spell - but it happens sometimes and is hilarious.
(If you ever find yourself saying "In response to heroic, exile the Hidden Strings copy, then with the first doubled heroic ability have her become a Sage of Hours, remove five, then in response to the other heroic ... (see all)

@ DoctorWhom42
I'm not posting this to show off or tell you you are wrong but simple to clear some things up and improve your knowledge and the knowledge of anyone reading this. For those unaware the scenario was describes as follows
"So, yesterday, I played this and it was targeted by a Doom Blade. I responded by playing Boon of Erebos, and changed it to a black creature my opponent had. I was under the pretense this was legal since it follows stack. But both my opponent and a nearby judge declared that since Doom Blade was played first, I can't change it after the play. Who was right?"

The short of it is that the judge was incorrect in his/her ruling. The long of it is as follows: Doom blade is on the stack targeting Artisan of Forms. When Boon of Erebos is cast targeting Artisan, the heroic ability is placed on the stack targeting a black creature the opponent controls, above both the Doom Blade and Boon. When the heroic trigger resolves Artisan beco... (see all)

interesting interaction with Fated Infatuation. you target this with fated infatuation and then this card's ability triggers. then you may target a different creature and when the fated infatuation finally resolves you can have two copies of the same creature that can morph later if you target them again.

@EmberFlux:
To answer your question, Artisan of Forms will not get a +1/+1 counter on it for copying Favored Hoplite, since the spell that would activate its Heroic ability to allow it to copy the Hoplite would have already been cast. So the spell would resolve as soon as the copy resolves.
