Once you begin to cast Volcanic Salvo, players can't take other actions until you've finished casting it. Notably, they can't try to change the total power of your creatures.

2020-06-23wotc

You can't target the same creature or planeswalker twice with Volcanic Salvo to deal 12 damage to it.

2020-06-23wotc

If a creature's power is somehow less than 0, it subtracts from the total power of your other creatures. If the total power of your creatures is 0 or less, the cost remains {10}{R}{R}.
