## Official Rulings
- *(2007-05-01)* Pyromancer’s Swath doesn’t change the source or recipient of the damage.
- *(2007-05-01)* If all damage from a source is prevented (because of Pay No Heed, for example) or if a source would deal 0 damage, the effect of Pyromancer’s Swath will not apply as that source is no longer dealing damage.
- *(2007-05-01)* If damage is being dealt to multiple creatures and/or players at the same time, the damage being dealt to each one is increased by 2.
