The cost reduction is set before you pay any of the spell's costs. Specifically, you could lock in a discount for an artifact you control and then sacrifice that artifact to activate a mana ability.

Affinity doesn't change the spell's mana value. It changes only how much mana you pay to cast the spell.

Affinity can reduce only generic mana in a spell's cost. It can't reduce color requirements.

If there are any additional costs or cost increases that would apply to a spell with affinity, apply those before applying any cost reductions.

If a spell has multiple instances of affinity, each applies.
