    Players can't gain life. Damage can't be prevented. All damage is dealt as though its source had wither. (A source with wither deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters.)

    When night fell, the plane itself was scarred.

    Spells and abilities that would normally cause a player to gain life still resolve, but the life-gain part simply has no effect.

    The "damage can't be prevented" statement overrides all forms of preventing damage, including protection abilities. Damage prevention spells and abilities can still be cast and played; they just don't do anything.

    Effects that replace an event with gaining life (like Words of Worship's effect does) will end up replacing the event with nothing.
