Answer

Ruling: Ravenbloom Student gets +1 Might from Falling Star after targets are declared but before damage is dealt. Falling Star does not trigger Dreaming Tree because it's a triggered ability (not a spell) doing the targeting.

Sequence:

  • Falling Star is played and goes on the chain
  • Falling Star resolves and adds damage triggers as pending
  • Ravenbloom Student trigger is added as pending
  • Cleanup finalizes all pending triggers (this is when targeting happens)
  • Ravenbloom Student trigger resolves first (last in, first out)
  • Then damage instances resolve

Nuances:

  • Ravenbloom Student only gets +1 Might for the one spell cast, not for each damage trigger from Falling Star
  • Ravenbloom Tome does increase the damage from Falling Star's reflexive triggers because damage from reflexive triggers is attributed to the original spell
  • Riot has indicated they may want Falling Star to trigger Dreaming Tree in a future rules update, but current rules as written do not support this

Does this answer look correct?
