Is it possible to prevent a weapon's hit from disrupting spells? Damage could be done away with in the settings of the ability, but even a harmless hit with "None" still causes spell failure.

Yes, you can "heal" negative hit points. With opcode 17. Now that also means you need to use the "No interruption when hit with zero damage" rule, that's in some game option. As that comes from ToBEx.

Though, I am not entirely sure the weidu functions take negative values ... but there was a bug report about it multiple versions back and it should have been fixed. So check this first with Near Infinity...

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

AFAIK 'healing' negative hit points to below zero will not actually kill a character but permamently bug it so it can't die at all...

Let's stay on topic. Going below 0 has interesting results, different depending on which opcode takes a creature there, but all of that only applies after a hit is registered. A weapon can be made to heal, even, inside its Melee ability, but first comes a shock and a damage animation with a spell failure. This is what I haven't been able to overcome. Perhaps if I make it a Magic ability instead of Melee/Ranged...

 

P. S. Okay, it's done. Putting an immunity to Damage on top of the hit's effects prevents the damage and the spell failure from it.

I was wrong: putting damage immunity in hit effects doesn't prevent damage and recoil.
