I made the mistake of posting without looking up the rule, so Wulf asks:

This is actually an ability test, with no resistance [p.155].

(Augmentation and AP loan have their own rules, so I wouldn't consider this magical resistance.)

I may have been thinking of the healing when it's matched against "poison, illness, or malign influence, the resistance is the strength of the opposing force." In this case, it would be at least 14.
