So Corsair psykers have their own peril table.
And Prince can get Malefic Demonology (ow yea). I love my prince to have that.
Now, the resolution of the psychic phase is Pick Power->Pick Target->Take Test->Deny the Witch->Resolve Power
Take Test says that we should resolve perils immediately.
As some of you may know, Corsair Psychic may result in rather unfortunate event of psyker chaning allegience.

Now, if i use Sacrifice and he changes control to the enemy, power still resolves, who chooses who loses the wound? Opponent is now controlling psyker, but power is still mine - i can choose the psyker to lose the wound to weaken him? He is not the friendly model, but he is "psyker himself".

Um, the psyker is now the opponent's, so he gets to make all decisions for it, including any remaining decisions for the resolving power.

It's worth noting that against the majority of opponents, the corsair will only be able to wound himself anyway, since very few armies will treat the corsair as friendly. (Interestingly, its faction doesn't change, so it still counts as a Corsair for interactions.)

Hmm, you think so? But if psyker dies from perils power still goes off, even tho there is no psyker at all at the moment.

Because we have a rule specifically telling thus that's what happens in that specific situation

Heh, i always read it as "psychic power still manifests even is something happen to psyker, like he dies" but RAW it only says "suffers a wound or is slain".
