Hmmm. Treat the mage's form as if it has a resisting
"strength" equal to his Willpower? If a mage has a
Willpower of 6 then his form can resist a weight equal to
the maximum weight a character with a Strength of 6 could
lift.

Now the fun question. What happens if a weight (or force)
exceeds the amount that his form can resist?
