If a spell or ability's cost includes returning a creature to your hand and paying mana, you can't activate Simian Spirit Guide's mana ability after returning it to your hand. This is because mana abilities must be activated before you begin paying costs.

Flavor text

"It's rarely worth questioning where the mana comes from. Just be grateful." —Jaya Ballard, task mage
