Recalled a similar mechanic from an old MUD I played on. Creating dolls of players using some woodscrap, fat, cloth, and some piece of the target player (not sure the creation skill, toymaking?). Having skill in puppeteering unlocks more options for what one can do to a doll: poking it with needles, forcing it to sit (player halts and STOPs any action), ripping off the head (player goes temp blind), making rude gestures to nearby players, ventriloquism?, etc. Doll QL helps too, and every use causes the doll to lose ql. Non-improvable. Perhaps a mostly BL option by having the WL gods frown on such. Using a doll requires it to be held in place of weapons, and actions can be interrupted in pvp. EDIT: Zombie dolls or something might be a better name in Wurm.
