Set's Curse Question

Set's Curse Type: Action Requires: Serpentis Cost: 2 blood +1 stealth action. [ser] (D) Burn any ally or retainer to put this card into play. This card becomes an animal ally with 3 life, 2 strength and 0 bleed. This ally cannot have or use equipment or retainers and cannot play action cards. [SER] As above, but burn a vampire with capacity less than 3 to put this card in play. My question is about the cost of the ally created by this card. It's 2 blood or 0 ?

[ quoted text not captured ] I'd guess that it's absolute cost was 2, but it's _recruit_ cost was 0, as it wasn't recruited. but that seems weird. -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email)

[ quoted text not captured ] It's an action card, not an ally card. The cost printed on the card is there action's cost. The ally it becomes has a cost of zero.
