If a spell targets multiple things, you can't target it with Imp's Mischief, even if all but one of those targets have become illegal.
wotc12 Apr 2024
You don't choose the new target for the spell until Imp's Mischief resolves. You must change the target if possible. However, you can't change the target to an illegal target. If there are no legal targets to choose from, the target isn't changed. It doesn't matter if the original target has somehow become illegal itself.
