Can you avoid a Terror effect by securing a terror die you just rolled on a spell?

A designer answer is relayed second-hand and conflicts with a literal reading of the rulebook, so it is not settled.

Reportedly yes. The rulebook counts terror among the rolled dice when a task fails, but a designer answer relayed on BGG says a terror die secured on a spell before the check does not trigger the Terror effect. That relay is second-hand, and some players keep to the rulebook's plain wording.
