Put the Ritual of Restoration on the Panoptic Mirror (optional). Tap and sac Delif's Cone, and swing with whatever creature you have that's got the Whispersilk Cloak on it. No damage is assigned, but you gain that much life (or double if you have Battle Mastery on the creature; again, optional), which is doubled by Boon Reflection (also optional). Pay and activate your Cradle of Vitality's ability, putting as many counters on that creature as you gained life that turn.

Now for the fun part...! Who wants to play a little hypothetical game? Imagine, if you will, that the creature you're attacking with is Serra Avatar, and assume you have 10 life to start, making her 10/10. What will her power and toughness be after... four attack phases, assuming no life loss between turns?

Read Delif's Cone, you can life equal to power when it isn't blocked, not whenever it deals combat damage, start stacking spirit link abilities instead.

Is it just me or is this just lifelink with Cradle of Vitality. . .?

...it would be lifelink if the creature were doing combat damage. The point here is purely exponential life gain.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you'd also have to pay for Cradle of Vitality's trigger twice, since it treats the first strike and normal combat damage seperately

Turbine is right, without all of the "optional," you get delifs cone and cradle of vitality! Delifs cone isnt even as good as anything that gives lifelink! What would be cool (and pointless) would be to play opalescence and put lifelink on the cradle, and then it puts counters on itself! :D

There's one slight problem with this combo:  Whispersilk Cloak grants the creature with shroud, not hexproof.  The cards you use say "Target Creature" but the creature equipped with the cloak is an illegal target (Shroud means nothing can target it, not even your own spells).

Both Delif's Cone and Cradle of Vitality demand targets.  To that end, these cards do not work with the Cloak unless you spend mana switching around the Cloak onto different creatures :/

With Serra Avatar, though, dang that creature's gonna get big REAL quick.  Once the second or third attack has been done, its power/toughness is going to be through the roof with at least over 100.
