    Apologies I assumed it was clear from the wording. If you fail a Con save you reduce your Max HP by the amount of damage taken. If that damage is reduced, such as through the Arcane Ward class feature, or the Bladesingers Song of Defense, then failing the Con Save means you take a reduced amount of damage. If that damage is reduced to 0, then failing the Con Save reduces the amount of HP reduction to 0.
