When Ravenbloom Student (which gains +1 Might when you play a spell) is targeted by Falling Star, does the Student get the +1 Might before taking damage?

Ruling: Yes, Ravenbloom Student gets +1 Might before taking damage from Falling Star.

Sequence:

• Falling Star is played, triggering Student's ability to gain +1 Might
• Falling Star resolves by adding two damage effects to the chain (using a reflexive trigger)
• Student gains the +1 Might
• The two damage effects resolve

Nuances:

• The two damage effects created by Falling Star's reflexive trigger do not count as spells themselves
• However, the damage from these effects still counts as being dealt by a spell (a specific exception for damage)
