Xavier's Dream reduce from damage applied or totally successes?

Xavier's Dream question:

Wolverine attacks Storm, and has 6 successes, Storm has 0. If the player controlling Storm plays Xavier's Dream do they reduce from 5(the damage she would take) or the amount of unblocked successes (6)?

It’s based on how much damage is unblocked, before considerations of how much the character can actually take. In your example, the damage that needs to be reduced is 6.
