Rulings
- 2004-10-04 · wotc — This is not damage prevention or redirection. It actually is life gain and newly dealt damage.
- 2004-10-04 · wotc — You can't use Simulacrum on Loss of Life, just damage.
- 2008-08-01 · wotc — Simulacrum is the source of the damage. If an effect needs to know a characteristic of the damage's source, it will see the damage coming from Simulacrum.
