If the effect instructs to just find a certain number of cards, he or she must find that many cards (or the possible maximum within that number, if the zone has less cards than required by that effect). Paying a cost to end an effect or take an action (Ghostly Prison, Leonin Arbiter,) and. What for? If the player is searching a hidden zone, and is looking for cards with certain characteristic(s) at that, he or she is not bound to find any. Turn-Based Actions do not use the stack, therefore they cannot be. Here’s why it matters in this situation: I can only pay for Leonin Arbiter as a special action (CR 116.2d), which means I must do it when I have priority, even though the action does not use the stack.
