There are two types of damage, battle damage and effect damage. Paying Life Points is not damage, so cards like “Wall of Revealing Light”, “Final Countdown” and “Premature Burial” cannot have their costs re-directed by cards such as “Barrel Behind the Door” or negated by “Des Wombat”.

Is losing life damage?

Spells that specifically say “lose life” cannot be reduced by spells that redirect damage. Damage is caused as “a result of combat” (119.2a) or “as an effect of a spell or ability” (119.2b).
