Everlasting Torment

Effects that would replace gaining life with some other effect won’t be able to do anything because it’s impossible for players to gain life.

If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, and that number is higher than your current life total, that effect will normally cause you to gain life equal to the difference. With Everlasting Torment on the battlefield, that part of the effect won’t do anything. (If the number is lower than your current life total, the effect will work as normal.)

Spells and abilities that replace or redirect damage aren’t affected by Everlasting Torment’s second ability. They’ll work as normal.

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