Example: Magus of Cloaks has 3 Nemesis tokens, and the Rising Dark power card is in play (When Magus of Cloaks is dealt damage, discard this.). Jian has a Spark and a Kindle prepped in breach I. Jian casts the Spark which would normally deal 1 damage to the nemesis. Because Magus of Cloaks
would be dealt damage, the damage is reduced by 3 (minimum 0), and the Magus loses a Nemesis token (2 remain). Because the Magus was not dealt damage, Rising Dark stays in play. Jian casts Kindle which would normally deal 3 damage to the nemesis. Because the Magus
would be dealt damage, the damage is reduced by 2. Since the Magus can never have less than 2 Nemesis tokens, he does not lose a Nemesis token. The Magus
is dealt 1 damage from the Kindle, so Rising Dark is discarded.
