Can't you just use the 'Paralyse' effect?

If you want it to be just a "freezing" spell, the best way'd be to use the Vanilla Paralyze, as Hashmi already stated. But if you want to add some wibble-wobble doodle-hoodle effects etc. to it, you can make a script and use "setav paralysis 1". Then just add some effects, or whatever you want to add, and you're done.

For starters: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Scripting_Tutorial:_My_Second_Script "My First Script" is really lame, don't even bother to look at it. Start straight from the one I gave the link for :D Also, http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Category:Functions
