Wither
702.80 Keyword Ability
702.80a
Wither is a static ability. Damage dealt to a creature by a source with wither isn’t marked on that creature. Rather, it causes that source’s controller to put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature. See rule 120.3.
702.80b
If an object is no longer in the zone it’s expected to be in as an effect causes it to deal damage, its last known information is used to determine whether it had wither.
702.80c
The wither rules function no matter what zone an object with wither deals damage from.
702.80d
Multiple instances of wither on the same object are redundant.
