Can you apply only part of a cost reduction, such as drawing 1 fewer card with a -2 effect?

Several players agree and cite the designer's French-forum answer, but no BGG official post was found.

No. A -X effect is applied in full or not at all, though the cost never drops below zero. This matters on locked actions; on an unlocked action you can take the full reduction and then draw an extra card for the same net result. Posters cite the designer saying a smaller reduction is not allowed.
