Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a verse counter on this enchantment. Sacrifice this enchantment: Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt this turn to any number of targets, divided as you choose, where X is the number of verse counters on this enchantment.

Rulings (3)

You count the number of counters, then divide up the prevention during the announcement of the ability. Each targeted creature receives the appropriate amount of damage prevention when the ability resolves.

You can activate the ability (choosing no targets) even if there are no verse counters on it. It doesn’t do anything useful if you do this.

Adding a counter is optional. If you forget to add one during your upkeep, you cannot back up and add one later.
