I think Mind Control not working on Mindless creatures is pretty standard, and doesn't merit a further limitation.

I was going to suggest that as well, except that (if I understand the OP's intent) he wants a power that can be activated as normal, giving a short-duration magic resistance effect, or activated instantly to defend against an incoming spell. Active Defense gives a power that can only be used on the defensive; he'd have to roll every time a spell comes at him, instead of being able to set the ward in place for a duration.

But yeah, adding Magic DR would also be a good idea, letting him resist damaging spells and powers.

It's in Powers, page 112 (as a variant of Requires Attribute Roll).
