Forum:Spell Wall vs. Spirit Barrier

Spell Wall's second effect is:

Target 1 Spellcaster-Type monster you control; if it attacks this turn, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step.

If I already have Spirit Barrier face-up on my field, and I control a monster, and my opponent activates Spell Wall and attacks me with a Spellcaster, what happens?

Do I take damage or not? Is Spirit Barriers's damage cancellation considered to be activating an effect, and therefore is it cancelled by Spell Wall?
