Methinks it's the besieger, simply because the description states besieged defenders may use the spell in this manner. 'course, it may be that nation 2 and 3 would get different results from casting FfA at province X, but Occam's razor seems to preclude this.

Thanks!
Actually, the description reads:
"[...] The spell can also be used to harass a besieging force or the defenders of a castle. [...]"
So if nation 3 were either of these, the results would be clear, but I find it far from clear if nation 3 is casting at X in which nations 1 and 2 are in: does the spell "harass" the defenders or the besiegers?

A massive Fire From Afars bombardment has resulted in no losses for the defender, while the besieged lost some troops. So the description seems to be correct, and the nation involved does not seem to matter.
