I agree that it seems that a force field/wall would be the way to go with this since that would reduce the damage, is capable of encasing the explosion partially or entirely (protecting any targets you might see fit), and would also be the simplest solution just come up with a size and effect then you can put on whatever limitations you see fit (you mentioned instant, only working on earth/stone, etc). It would probably also be cheaper since I don't see the need to put any advantages on it since they're ranged and conform to any shape by default and, while force walls can be pricey, all the limitations should drop the cost by at least -1.

i would just use a AoE Suppression with trigger linked to it or a AoE usable on others Damage Negation. It does not matter if other people agree with your special effect the mechanic is simple damage negation or suppression and is allowed by the rules.

 

Try this

-3 Physical & Energy DC Damage Negation, Usable on others radius, Activation equal to your Dex roll.

for clarification see 6th ed characters page 358 for usable nearby which is designed for powers like this, group flight and group invisibility.

So Sidetrack, which way did you end up going?
