Gameplay

Instant

Light creates shadow; light destroys shadow. Such is the transience of darkness.

This only prevents damage the chosen source would deal to you or a creature you control. If the creature would deal damage to another player, a planeswalker, or a creature you don’t control, it does not get prevented.
