Does inkshield create the Inkling tokens as one event or many? The wording is "For each 1 damage prevented this way" which makes me think it would be multiple token creation events, each creating 1 inkling, and thus with an effect such as Took out, would also create that number of food. Since each single creation can be replaced with inkling+food.

The alternative wording would be something like "Whenever damage is prevented this way, create that many" which would make it one creation event in my mind, but I want to see if anyone else has input or thoughts.

Yeah, that would make sense. The wording on Inkshield just seems like it would be separate events, since it is "For each 1 damage prevented, create an inkling" and not "Whenever damage is prevented, create that many inkling"
