ML2 sorcerer casting a blast type witchfire on a unit of cultists near a rhino containing Ahriman (ML4 sorcerer).

The blast marker will be placed in such a way so as to touch both the cultists and Ahriman's rhino.

Does the player controlling Ahriman deny on 6s or 4s?

Which unit is rolling to deny the witch?

That's ultimately my question. The player is targeting the cultists. But he's positioning the blast to hit Ahriman's rhino too.

Can I declare a deny the witch using Ahriman's ML level?

Does Ahriman have a Psychic Hood? If so, read the last paragraph of that section in the Psychic Phase.

If not... well.. If we go by the Draft FAQ, Ahriman isn't there to be a target, even though his Transport would qualify as one sufficient for Jinking.

He's either targeting cultists or a rhino. There's your answer. You need 6's. Unless Ahriman has a psychic hood.

Even though the blast template is hitting the rhino and he's specifically doing it that way to hit Ahriman's rhino?

That's such bull gak.

Not really. It's pretty straightforwards following of the rule.

Who rolls to Deny the Witch? Answer: The target of the power.

What is the target? Answer: Rhino.

Therefore the Rhino is rolling. Same thing with the cultist.

Correction, either one can roll, but only one can be using its rules to Deny the Witch, not both.
