Rulings
Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
The extra mana is not considered part of the activation cost. It is a separate cost.
The extra mana is part of the total cost, so cost reducers can be applied to this cost.
The additional mana is paid at the same time the spell/ability is cast/activated.
