Cagliostro, The Grand Copht
Clan: Follower of Set (group 4)
Capacity: 8
Disciplines: OBF PRE SER nec pot
Independent: If Cagliostro is ready during your discard phase, you get
an additional discard phase action. If Cagliostro is blocked and combat
occurs, he may place a corruption counter on the blocking minion when
that combat ends.
Here my question... Is his ability confined to once each action? or
resulting combat?
If the blocking minion Psyched the combat, can I place another
corruption counter on him at the end of combat?
(Actually my questions is if Cagliostro gets CEL and psyched the
combat... Would he get to put another corruption counter on the
blocking minion?)

"he may place a corruption counter on the blocking minion when THAT
combat ends" psyche! starts new combat, so it ain't that combat
(resulted by block) anymore.
so no, he can't place another counter.

Yes.

No. Card text: "that combat".

The standard template for during X do Y is limited to one Y per X.
Wihtout specific text to override that template, I would have to assume
that the corruption counter would be placed at the end of the first
combat (when that combat ends). A subsequent combat started by a
Psyche! is a 'new combat' - and not the combat that ocurred when
Cagliostro was blocked (though it is still part of the action
resolution).
Extending the topic slightly (and this would be a corner case). If
Caglisotro were to end combat and continue as if unblocked ... ie Form
of Mist.
i) Would the first combat be deemed not to have occured as 'if not
blocked' , so no corruption counter could be played?
ii) if blocked subsequently after that combat could he play a
corruption counter even if he had played one at the end of the first
combat (pending conclusion of above) ?

He may place a corruption counter when that block-induced combat is
ended by Form of Mist.
After combat ends (and a corruption counter is placed or not), then
the action continues as if unblocked.

Yes.

Umm... I don't understand this line of reasoning. It doesn't say in
the "resulting combat". It says if he is blocked and combat occurs.
He can be blocked once and have multiple combats occur in the same
action. Each combat is "that combat" that occurred after he was
blocked (i.e. they all occur after he is blocked, all during the same
action).

It also doesn't say "during the same action" nor "after he is blocked"
(neither by way of setting a minion nor by way of setting a maximum
to the time frame) .
Unless the implied "resulting combat" is used (as is official),
then once he is blocked, he can activate his special on every block
that occurs for the remainder of the game.
