Forum:Is the effect of "Magic Clyinder" battle damage?

Magic Cylinder effect damage, or battle?
When you activate the trap, Magic Cylinder does the LP damage you do to your opponent classified as 'battle damage' as it is in the battle phase involving a Monster Attacking, I ask this because in a duel I had. I used Magic Cylinder and he then activated Waboku and we didn't know if it was 'effect damage' as it came from a trap card, or 'battle damamge' as it was the Monsters ATK points which were used. I am pretty sure it is seen as 'effect damage' as the opponent is attacking 'me' not his/her self. Thanks for reading, x
