How does Volibear, Furious interact with Void Gate when splitting damage? Does the +1 bonus damage apply once to the total split, or does it apply to each instance of split damage?

Ruling: Void Gate's bonus damage adds +1 to the total damage being split, not to each individual target. Volibear, Furious would split 6 total damage (5 base + 1 bonus), not deal +1 to each target.

Sequence:

• Volibear, Furious deals 5 damage that can be split
• Void Gate adds +1 bonus damage to the total
• The total 6 damage is then split among chosen targets
• The bonus damage also allows you to choose one additional target (if splitting 5 damage into 5 units previously, you can now split 6 damage into 6 units)

Nuances:

• The interaction differs from cards like Icathian Rain, which would apply the bonus differently
• You cannot assign 1 damage to the same unit multiple times when splitting
