- If you take 6 damage at once, it will replace all 6 damage and put 6 counters on it. Then the second ability will trigger. Any additional damage you take before this ability resolves also results in counters, but once the ability resolves, this card is sacrificed. [Scourge FAQ 2003/05/30]
- If you control more than one, each time you take damage you can decide which one replaces the damage, and that one replaces all of the damage. You cannot split the damage between them.

- If the targeted creature leaves play or stops being a creature before the damage would be dealt, then the damage is not redirected. [Scourge FAQ 2003/05/30] For example, if you choose a 1/1 creature, then this card would take 3 damage, all 3 is directed to the 1/1 creature, which then dies. If this card would take an additional 3 damage later in the turn, the 1/1 creature is no longer in play so the damage is not redirected. [D'Angelo 2003/05/30]
