Need a force power cog

Hi...
I want to make a spell for a mod I'm making.
Now this spell will make the player that cast it freeze(not be able to move and such) and a camera will slowly rotate around the player from the standard third person view and look at him. And then go back to standard third person view and unfreeze the player.
While the camera rotates some special effects will happen.

Help me someone, you're my only hope :D

Freezing is easy, just apply the proper flag (it's an actor flag, IIRC). The camera rotation thing, I have no idea of.

The idle camera, he means. I don't know how to trigger that. The freeze flag is SetActorFlags(GetLocalPlayerThing(),0xa00000);
Cordially,

I assume you know how to make KEY files, so you could probably just place a ghost cam where the third-person cam would be. Use the "AttachThingToThing()" function to keep the camera in the same relative position and simply play the camera key when it is needed.

SetCurrentCamera(int);

Not sure what number the idle one is (probably either 3,4, or 5). However if you move your mouse or touch a key the camera disengages.
