In a pure opinion sense, I'd say yes, it should work. As for if it does or not in the rules, I'm not certain either. I see no 'cheapness' in it, as you're clearly spending motes, willpower, and an action to keep that ISB up, and that's fair. You're countering his spell, after all. -- [[GreenLantern]]
