Thanks. That cleared that up for me. :)

So I have spear of heliod on board and I'm going against a deck that has creatures with extort. My opponent casts a creature spell and extorts me with another creature already on board. Can I activate the spear of heliod and destroy the creature that was used to extort me, or does it not work since extort says " looses life" and not "deals damage"?
