I noticed a spell in Paolo's Shadowrun Character Generator called
Biophysical armor. Unfortunately I have found no other information
regarding this spell, so I don't know what it does. But it got me
thinking...wouldn't it be cool to make a spell that produces the effects
(and some sort of Guyver-esque looking biosuit) of dermal plating that
protects the target...so here's my idea...if anyone cares to shoot it down:

Dermal Shell

Creates a plating of physical armor around the target's body, which acts
not unlike dermal plating. Form-fits to the targets body. The character
adds his successes to the body attribute of the target.

Formula -
Manipulation Spell
Minor Physical Change M
Physical spell +1 DT
Sustained +1 DT
Affects Attribute (Body) +1 DL
Add dice per success +1 DL
Voluntary Spell -1 DL
Final Formula [(F/2)+2]S

If it were a personal spell, I'd have to make it at M stun simply because
of the nature of the spell. Noone should be able to cast this powerful a
spell for L stun.
