Gameplay

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, return target creature to its owner's hand.

Seek balance in all things—as long as the scales are weighted in your favor. —Vodalian saying

The ability is put on the stack immediately after you cast a creature spell, which means the creature that spell will become won't be a legal target.

2008-08-01wotc

The ability will still resolve even if the spell that triggered it gets countered.

2008-04-01wotc

A "creature spell" is any spell with the type Creature, even if it has other types such as Artifact or Enchantment. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature spells.
