If I were to have a Ragemonger on the battlefield, and later on I decide I wanted to cast a gnarled scarhide with it's bestow, would it cost one black mana less or would it still be the full 3 colorless and 1 black since it's an aura?

702.102a (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=702.102a): Bestow represents two static abilities, one that functions while the card with bestow is on the stack and another that functions both while it's on the stack and while it's on the battlefield. "Bestow [cost]" means "You may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost." and "If you chose to pay this spell's bestow cost, it becomes an Aura enchantment and gains enchant creature. These effects last until one of two things happens: this spell has an illegal target as it resolves or the permanent this spell becomes, becomes unattached." Paying a card's bestow cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2e–g.
Full cost. It is not being cast as a minotaur spell, it's being cast as an aura spell.
