Tzimisce and Fiendish Tongue

Fiendish Tongue, Action Requires a Sabbat vampire. (D) Bleed at +1 bleed. Anarch vampires get -1 intercept when attempting to block this action. If this acting vampire is Tzimisce and the bleed is successful (for 1 or more), this Tzimisce may burn 1 blood to untap during your discard phase this turn. The question is, when does the vampire burn the blood to untap? After the action, or during the discard phase. It is fairly important for a number of reasons. It seems to me, that the blood is burned after the action, then during the discard phase, if you've done so, you untap. However, I have seen this ruled on that you only pay the blood in the discard phase WHEN you untap. Any official ruling on this one? Cheers --> J
