Here's a simple idea for Immobilizing: x0 -- basically, "exciting" with a zero move. My Jellyfish could then be mKx0K, while the classic Immobilizer would be mQx0K.

It would default to a passive ability to all squares, but something like mx0 could make it something deliberate affecting only one piece, until the piece doing the Immobilizing either moves or is captured, or until the target piece is passively moved (such as with a displacement or relay). So, a Wizard able to do this into his own moves would be FCmx0Fmx0C.
