hard for it. Granted, it can be worked a bit, but the concept is solid.
So I took a few minutes to design it, staying strictly within the rules.
Here's my version, with the design notes. Comments welcome, Thwaps given
to Barry Manilow for 'the usual treatment'.
For lack of a better term, the STUD spell.
Physical spell. Target is 10-Essence. Affescts Bodily Functions. Sustained.
Drain is F/2S. The only mods I added cancelled each other out: Involved/
Complex Effect, and Limited Range.
Effect: For every 2 successes, the subject is able to ignore 1 box of
damage.

Now, this spell can be worked a lot of different ways; it could be mana-
based, where the mind is tricked into ignoring pain. Or it could be
be made with unlimited range at a slightly higher drain.
I think it's a manipulation. And, to clarify, it's ignore the mods
for wounds. Deadly damage is still deadly damgage. If the spell drops
while the subject is wounded, the full effects come into play.
It's basically Resist Pain.
Now, if you want to open yourself up to addictive magic, you can make
some other adjustments using that as a break on another or better effect
(like 1 box per success).
Speaking of Addiction, I would say that magic isn't addictive, though you
can become addicted to the feeling of invincibility you have when this spell
is up.
