Lesser Power concentration help

[edhelsereg]

I was trying to make a Spell Absorption spell that I wanted to be a self cast concentration spell. By adding a MagicWard keyword I got the cool talk-to-the-hand animation (instead of the let-me-sprinkle-pixie-dust-on-myself animation that normally plays with self targeting spells.)

 

The problem is THIS:

 

I want to make the spell a lesser power that costs magicka, but it only lasts for a split second. I cannot hold the spell even though it is classified as a concentration spell.

 

If I move it make it a Restoration Spell, I can add a perk stops skill-ups, but the restoration level effects the magnitude of the effect. I tried setting the Skill Usage Multiplier to 0.00 but that did nothing.

 

Does anyone have any insight into lesser powers that would be helpful?
