Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.)
Target creature can't block this turn. If this spell was kicked, gain control of that creature until end of turn, untap it, and it gains haste until end of turn.
Create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with ", Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked.
The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because of creating a Clue token this way.
Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
