    You cast the copy while the ability is resolving and still on the stack.

    Because you're already casting the spell using an alternative cost (by casting it without paying its mana cost), you can't pay any other alternative costs for the card. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

    If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.
