Jeska's Will + Reiterate

Overview
When Reiterate copies Jeska's Will, Reiterate puts a copy of Jeska's Will onto the stack; that copy is not cast and it copies the mode choices (including whether both modes were chosen when the original was cast) and the original’s choices, but Reiterate allows you to choose new targets for the copy and . Buyback on Reiterate only applies to Reiterate itself, not to the copied Jeska's Will and .
Step 1
You cast Jeska's Will and choose its mode(s). If you controlled a commander as you cast it, you may choose both modes (this choice is made while casting the spell) and the ruling about commanders applies [2020-11-10].
Step 2
You announce any required targets for Jeska's Will (for example, a target opponent for the Add {R} mode) as part of casting it .
Step 3
While Jeska's Will is on the stack, you cast Reiterate targeting that Jeska's Will and pay Reiterate’s costs (you may also pay Reiterate’s buyback for Reiterate itself) and .
Step 4
When Reiterate resolves, it creates a copy of the targeted Jeska's Will and puts that copy onto the stack; that copy is not cast and it inherits the original spell’s characteristics and the decisions made when the original was cast (including which mode(s) were chosen) .
Step 5
Because Reiterate’s text allows choosing new targets for the copy, you may change the copy’s targets (for example change which opponent is targeted by the Add {R} mode); you may also leave targets unchanged even if they would be illegal for the copy .
Step 6
The copy of Jeska's Will resolves like any other spell on the stack: it will add {R} for each card in the target opponent’s hand for the Add {R} mode and/or exile the top three cards of your library and allow you to play them this turn for the exile/play mode, depending on which mode(s) were chosen on the original .
Step 7
Note that the copy itself was never cast, so any decisions tied to casting (other than those already made and copied) can’t be changed; and any payment of buyback applied to Reiterate only affects Reiterate, not the copied Jeska's Will and .
Resolution
Reiterate creates a copy of Jeska's Will and puts that copy onto the stack; the copy is not cast, so it inherits the original spell’s mode choice(s) and other decisions made when the original was cast . Reiterate’s controller may choose new targets for the copy where allowed (for example, the Add {R} mode’s target opponent) per Reiterate and the copying rules . Paying Reiterate’s buyback affects only Reiterate and does not give the copied Jeska’s Will any buyback or cause the copy to return to hand and .
