Banishment and Chanjelin Ward

[Andy Brown]

My prey has a Kiasyd with Chanjelin Ward on it.

My Vampire of higher capacity calls a Political Action,
Banishment. There are no blockers, so I name the aforementioned
Kiasyd.

Does my Vampire have to burn a blood (an action against
the Kiasyd with the Ward) and then can she burn it to cause
the political action to fail, as it the Kiasyd is the target?

I would have said no, as the political action is an undirected
action to which the Kiasyd becomes part of the referenda, not
a directed action against the Kiasyd named. However, obviously,
my prey said otherwise. As I was half asleep at the time, I
stated my arguement, but backed down, and as such, my Ventrue
Prince lost a blood, and then the action failed as the Ward was
burnt.

Who was right?

No. It is not directed at the Kiasyd.
