Though it's perfectly valid to make this a new effect. I'd price it identically to Stunning for a +0% modifier if it's by itself, or a +10% modifier if it's in addition to another effect. I'd certainly handle it as Affliction though, not Mind Control, or as a rejiggered spell.
And yet with Reduced Duration and the Nuisance Effect you've made it cheaper than Stunning, which was part of my quibble. It's weird to me to pay for the Disadvantage effect (which includes an extended duration beyond the default Stun for 1 second), and then get a Reduced Duration limitation worth more than the Disadvantage enhancement. Maybe this is valid, but it feels wrong somehow.

When your leg is crippled in combat, you fall automatically and gain the "Missing Legs" version of Lame. I wonder if that would be sufficient...
