Repercussion
Damage dealt to a creature is a discrete, measurable event, and this enchantment taxes that event by mirroring it onto the creature's controller. The design turns combat and burn arithmetic upside down. Any source of damage, yours or theirs, becomes a face-burn spell scaled to whatever landed on the creature. Point a damage-based sweeper at a board and every creature's controller eats the total. The catch is its blindness: the trigger cares nothing for who deals the damage or why, so it is symmetrical and unconditional, which means the same effect that wins the game can lose it if the board is misread. Combat shows how sharp the math gets. When a blocker fights an attacker, the attacker's controller takes damage equal to the blocker's power (the source of the damage it dealt), while you take damage equal to the attacker's power routed through your own creature. Block carelessly and you bolt yourself. Pyroclasm stops being a wrath and becomes a kill spell aimed at whoever holds the most life-fragile board; a single ping turns into reach. The card asks for a deck willing to weaponize its own damage as a finishing axis rather than a board-control tool, and it rewards arithmetic most red decks never have to do: not how much damage clears the table, but how much damage routes through the table into a face.
