Greetings! I would really appreciate your responses on how Magma Totem operates with the "same name" rule. Say if 2 of an opposing player's characters are each adjacent 2 of his/her Stoneclaw Totems, and all of them are each adjacent to at least 2 of the other player's Magma Totems, how will Magma Totem work at the end of Tick 5?

Will the "same name" rule apply and each of the opposing units just takes one attack from just one Magma Totem?

How will Magma Totem interact with the adjacent opponent's Stoneclaw Totem (or even a Grounding Totem) and character? Will the Stoneclaw totem take the attack from Magma Totem and spare it's adjacent ally or will the Stoneclaw Totem & ally each defends from the Magma Totem attack? Will they be affected by multiple instances of Magma Totem attacks if all of them are adjacent to at least 2 of it?

In advance, thanks for the clarification!

WoW Minis Comp Rules:

704.2d bullet 1
First, the turn player chooses the order in which any such abilities that affect his or her characters apply to each of those characters, and then the next player clockwise does the same, and so on. Multiple triggered abilities with the same name can’t affect the same character at the same time, nor can triggered abilities from multiple equipment or totems with the same name. An ability affects a character if it has the potential to modify that character whether it does so or not.

I'd also like to point out that the attack from Magma Totem does not target anything.  It will not be affected by Stoneclaw Totem or Grounding Totem since both require the attack to target.

So it would make no sense to place two magma totems on the same space, right?
