The story teller and I had a disagreement on how or if a mage could survive a nuclear explosion at ground zero. They can see a countdown and know when the detonation will occur. They have 10 minutes. They want the destruction from the bomb to occur. So, no negating or preventing the explosion. Avoiding or being hit directly or and surviving is the goal.

I'm interested in possibilities across editions of Mage.

Assume the mage is a marauder or otherwise not concerned with paradox.

What different spheres or sphere combinations (and sphere levels) would allow a mage to survive being at ground zero for a nuclear explosion? How difficult would success be?

The story teller and I had a disagreement on how or if a mage could survive a nuclear explosion at ground zero. They can see a countdown and know when the detonation will occur. They have 10 minutes. They want the destruction from the bomb to occur and must witness it first hand. So, no negating or preventing the explosion. They cannot or are not willing to remote view it from either a different point in time or space. Standing in the blast radius and surviving the full fury and destruction of a nuclear explosion is the goal.

I should note I'm not even sure how to properly explain a nuclear explosion (i.e. do they affect the spirit realm?), though this is not my focus.

What different spheres or sphere combinations (and sphere levels) would allow a mage to survive being at ground zero for a nuclear explosion? How difficult would success with each sphere or sphere combination?

The story teller and I had a disagreement on how or if a mage could survive a nuclear explosion at ground zero. They can see a countdown and know when the detonation will occur. They have 10 minutes. They don't want to stop the detonation.
