Intervention Pact (remember to use double square brackets to link your cards for EZ viewing experience for everyone)
Damage can be dealt by permanents, spells or abilities. Intervention pact does not specify it works versus a certain color only, so it has no restriction on its prevention.
However, you are allowed to prevent only one source of damage. If you are attacked by a Grizzly Bear and the opponent aims a Lightning Bolt at you, a single pact can prevent only one of these.
Compare it to Prismatic Strands , which first has you specify a color, then prevents damage from said color.
