Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, you gain that much life.

You only gain life for damage which is not prevented regardless of what the creature damages (player or another creature) or the toughness of the blocking creature. If you put Spirit Link on a Shivan Dragon and it is blocked by a Scryb Sprites, you still gain 5 life points. If the Sprite has Protection from Red, you gain zero life since the protection reduces the damage to zero. [bethmo 1994/07/08]
If a creature has more than one Spirit Link on it, they all work. [Aahz 1994/07/15]
Works for damage due to combat or due to any special ability of the creature. For example, you would get one life for tapping a Prodigal Sorcerer to do damage. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 9] Note that this is great for creatures which damage you, such as not paying the Force of Nature's upkeep, since you will get as much life as you take in damage.
Damage that is redirected is not considered successfully dealt to the original creature or player, but it may be successful in damaging the new creature or player. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
You only gain the life when the triggered ability resolves. If you are reduced to zero life before the ability resolves, you will lose before gaining the life. For example, if the creature with Spirit Link on it attacks you dealing 3 damage when you have just 3 life, you will take 3 damage and lose before the triggered ability can resolve. [D'Angelo 2003/05/16]

Any cards which might trigger off a card becoming tapped will trigger. Thus, a Psychic Venom on a land that becomes tapped will cause 2 damage.

187. Furnace of Rath

Enchantment	1RRR (4)	Core Set - Eighth Edition (Rare)
If a source would deal damage to a creature or player, it deals double that damage to that creature or player instead.

It is a replacement effect (see Rule 419) applied when damage is would be dealt. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01]
If a spell or ability damages multiple things, divide up the damage before applying this effect. [WotC Rules Team 1998/10/18] This means you cannot normally end up with an odd amount of damage on something.
If you have two of these in play, the damage is multiplied by 4. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]
The multiplied damage counts in all ways as if it came from the original source. Furnace of Rath is not the source. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]

You and target opponent each flip a coin. Mana Clash deals 1 damage to each player whose coin comes up tails. Repeat this process until both players' coins come up heads on the same flip.

Each point of damage is dealt separately, so if you are damaged twice by this spell, each time is considered a separate time this source deals damage. This means you need power a Circle of Protection: Red twice if it damages you twice and you want to avoid all the damage. [8E FAQ 2003/07/28]
Always affects the caster and targets an opposing player. It cannot be Deflectioned back to affect the caster twice. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]

{T}: Orcish Artillery deals 2 damage to target creature or player and 3 damage to you.

A Circle of Protection: Red can be used to prevent the damage from this card. Makes it a nice 2 point directed attack. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
You do not take the 3 points of damage if the effect fails because the target is illegal. [Aahz 1994/06/06]
Note - The Alpha printing version of this card had a mana cost of "{1}{R}". Al
