All creatures are dealt damage, not just ones controlled by the targeted lands' controller(s).

If both targeted lands are illegal targets by the time Lavaball Trap resolves, the entire spell doesn't resolve. No creatures are dealt damage.

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.

You may target any two lands, not just ones that entered this turn.
