Certainly when he points it at you! A "mere" w3 might not kick off a "This guy is special" alert until he started using it, while a w5 might scream at you while he is still a ways away and not thinking about it.

A disciple would count as "using it" all the time, even if he wasn't consciously thinking of doing anything. (A Humakti Disciple probably kills bedbugs and fleas in his sleep, a popular guest at some roadside inns!)
