"Whenever that hero deals damage..."

Kismet's Scattered Mind reads "Whenever that hero deals damage, their player must discard 1 card". Does "whenever" refer to one instance or something else? If Tempest is affected by Scattered Mind (has it in front of him) and plays Chain Lightning to deal damage to 3 targets, then does Tempest discard 3 cards?

Thanks.

I would say so - as far as I'm aware, "dealing damage" means "making something lose hp". Therefore if Tempest were to, say, Squall and everything had soak, he would have dealt no damage therefore wouldn't have to discard anything. But if he hit five targets, that's five instances of damage, therefore bye bye five cards (assuming he has that many).

I agree with that.
