Ghost Spider's Life Saver timing

[NoTGT_Kuyo]

I just want to make sure I am correctly understanding the timing. When Ghost Spider using Life Saver this is before the opponent pays for the attack. So if the target is not in range the attacker can choose another action and doesn't lose power for the previous attack.

For regular attacks this is true.

For a beam or area attack that only targets the character Ghost-Spider saves the power cost is paid before the step where it happens.
