I kind of imagine a Taunt spell being ranged, actually. I picture it as being the equivalnet of yelling something like, "Think you can swing that axe, do you? Come over here, ya yellow-bellied mud-licker. Come one, take a swing! Just one! I dare ya!"
I think of a 'taunt' as an action that is meant to focus attention of someone else on oneself. If we accept that idea, Morrowind's Frenzy Creature or Frenzy Humanoid spell sounds perfect to me: those spells make the enemy attack the player character. But Oblivion's Frenzy makes them attack anything in sight, freind or foe. To me this sounds like the ooposite of getting someone's attention.
I've never done any modding with spells. Is it possible to recreate a Morrowind spell in Oblivion? I have no idea. If so, I would suggest finding a way to recreate Morrowind's Frenzy Humanoid and Frenzy Creature spells. If it isn't possible I guess Oblivion's version would just have to do. Or maybe a Demoralize spell? (the enemy loses confidence and puts away his axe after considering (and then rejecting) the idea of taking you up on your dare to 'come on, take a swing').
Well, that's my opinion anyway.
