You won't be able to cast Necrologia  , not due to the additional cost, but because it can only be cast during your end step, and Panoptic Mirror triggers and casts an exiled card in your upkeep. If it weren't for that end step restriction you'd be able to cast it - but as an additional cost to cast it, even off the mirror, you'd need to pay X life, in order to draw X cards. So, for example, you could imprint a Fling  on the Mirror, but if you actually want to cast it on your upkeep you'd need to sacrifice a creature.

no, you can (or sometimes have to) pay additional costs when casting a spell for free

It is traditional to imprint a spell like temporal mastery  or time warp  that lets you win the game. Usually, you tap it to imprint in response to the second ability going on the stack, just in case your opponent has a naturalize  type spell, so you at least get one use out of it.

This ability reads "At the beginning of your upkeep, you may copy a card exiled with Panoptic Mirror. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost."
There are two "mays". What happen if for some reason I decide to copy a spell but not to cast it? Would this ever be useful?
Are the two "mays" needed? Why didn't they write it that way:
"At the beginning of your upkeep, you may copy a card exiled with Panoptic Mirror and cast the copy without paying its mana cost."

The copy of the spell (which is in the exile zone) will cease to exist a moment later.
Would this ever be useful?
Not that i can think of.

I don't know.
