[LSJ] Seeds of Corruption Q

This has probably been asked before but I'm not sure and it's not in the R/C/E archive, it came up in a game last night. Name: Seeds of Corruption [AH] Cardtype: Action Cost: 2 blood Discipline: Thaumaturgy +1 stealth action. [tha] (D) Put this card on a vampire controlled by your prey. If the vampire is a Follower of Set, he or she burns 2 additional blood for each action he or she performs; otherwise, he or she burns 1 additional blood for each action he or she performs. The vampire with this card cannot use his or her special abilities. Any vampire(s) may burn this card with two +1 stealth actions. [THA] As above, but the vampire burns 2 additional blood for each action; Followers of Set burn 3 additional blood. A vampire has a (SUP) Seeds of Corruption on it and no blood. The vampire must hunt. It was argued that the hunt action failed because the vampire couldn't pay the two. I ruled that the hunt was successful because SoC only makes you burn two blood, it doesn't increase the cost of the action by two. Also, another ruling I made that I'm sure is correct that I wanted to check. A vampire burned outright, say, from taking 4 agg damage when it only has 2 blood, doesn't pass through torpor.
