Does loss of life cause damage in Magic The Gathering?
Actually, damage does lead to loss of life, but not all loss of life comes from damage. It's like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. So if your opponent uses a spell to make you lose life directly, it's not damage and won't trigger effects that activate on damage.

Nope, loss of life and damage are two different things in MTG. Damage can cause loss of life, but not all loss of life is due to damage. For example, a card that says "each opponent loses 3 life" doesn't deal damage, it just makes the life totals go down. So, your creatures with lifelink won't give you life for that, and damage prevention doesn't stop it.
Straight talk? Loss of life isn't damage. They're like cousins in the MTG world - related but definitely not the same thing.
