Creature - Avatar Incarnation
{0}: The next 1 damage that would be dealt to Personal Incarnation this turn is dealt to its owner instead. Any player may activate this ability, but only if he or she owns Personal Incarnation.
When Personal Incarnation is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, its owner loses half his or her life, rounded up.¹

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 10/4/2004: You do not lose life if this card is exiled or sent someplace without going to the graveyard first.
• 10/4/2004: The owner of the Incarnation loses life when it is destroyed, not the controller. So if you control your opponent's Incarnation you can let it die to make them lose life.
• 2/1/2007: If you attempt to halve a negative life total, you halve 0.  This means that the life total stays the same.  A life total of -10 would remain -10.
