The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.

The effect is cumulative.

This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If a spell is both white and black, you pay {1} less, not {2} less.
wotc4 Oct 2004
The generic X cost is still considered generic even if there is a requirement that a specific color be used for it. For example, “only black mana can be spent this way”. This distinction is important for effects which reduce the generic portion of a spell’s cost.

If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell’s cost, the cost reduction still applies.
