My opponent is at 20 life and has an Opalescence, a Demonic Pact (with all options EXCEPT "you lose the game" chosen thus far), and a Fugitive Wizard on the battlefield.
Can I choose to deal all 8 of the Fusion Elemental's Combat damage to Fugitive Wizard, in turn NOT killing the Demonic Pact (which should kill my opponent at the beginning of their next upkeep)?
When your creature is blocked by multiple creatures you first assign blocking order. In this situation you will put the wizard first then the pact. Then you assign damage equal to your creatures power to the various blockers in blocking order while dealing a minimum of lethal damage to each in succession. However, you can choose to deal more than lethal, so you assign all 8 to the wizard and 0 to the pact.
I attack with a Fusion Elemental. My opponent double blocks with the-- animated as a 4/4 thanks to Opalescence-- Demonic Pact AND the Fugitive Wizard.
