When playing Icathian Rain, do you choose all damage targets before your opponent can react, or can you choose targets one at a time between reactions?

Answer
Ruling: You cast Icathian Rain without declaring targets initially. After opponents can react, the spell resolves by creating 6 triggers that are added to the chain. You declare the target for each individual trigger when those triggers are finalized, and opponents can react between each trigger resolving.
Sequence:
- Cast Icathian Rain (declare no targets)
- Reactions can be made
- Icathian Rain begins resolving, 6 triggers are added to the chain as pending
- Icathian Rain finishes resolving, 6 triggers are finalized and targets for each individual trigger are declared here
- Reactions can be made
- Last trigger resolves
- Reactions can be made
- Continue for each remaining trigger
Nuances:
- Deflect costs would be paid when targets are declared (when triggers are finalized)
- Opponents can react after each individual trigger resolves
