If an ability is linked to a second ability, copies of that ability are also linked to that second ability. If the second ability refers to "the exiled card," it refers to all cards exiled by the ability and the copy. For example, if one of Helvault's activated abilities is copied and two cards are exiled, they both return when Helvault is put into a graveyard from the battlefield.

If the ability divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.

The source of the copy is the same as the source of the original ability.
