Meteor Shower deals X plus 1 damage divided as you choose among any number of targets.

Rulings:

10/4/2004 You can’t choose to do fractional damage to a target.
10/1/2008 A tip on how this math works: To deal a total of 1 damage, X is 0. The cost is <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=0&type=symbol" alt="0" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=0&type=symbol" alt="0" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" /> = <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" />. To deal a total of 2 damage, X is 1. The cost is <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=1&type=symbol" alt="1" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=1&type=symbol" alt="1" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" /> = <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=2&type=symbol" alt="2" align="absbottom" /><img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" />. To deal a total of 3 damage, X is 2. The cost is <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=2&type=symbol" alt="2" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=2&type=symbol" alt="2" align="absbottom" /> + <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" /> = <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=4&type=symbol" alt="4" align="absbottom" /><img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=R&type=symbol" alt="Red" align="absbottom" />. And so on.
10/1/2008 You divide the damage as you cast Meteor Shower, not as it resolves. Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage.
