I love the flavor of this one! I'm not sure about some of the specifics.

You don't see many contested abilities in 3.0 that offer a penalty to the caster for failure. SICK gives roundtime if you cast without a valid target, but nothing for failing the contest. The closest analog is probably some of the Teleological and Hylomorphic sorcery stuff, but IMO Paladins could really, really use another top-tier disabler besides Halt, so take away the downside for Paladins completely and make it a vanilla contested ability.

Keep it a glyph, not a spell. That way it can be a power v. fortitude or reflexes attack, and Paladins can put their physical bulk to good use in a stat contest. I think any decent non-magical power v. whatever disabler would be a huge win for Paladins in general just because of their skillset and current arsenal.

You don't see many abilities that debuff with roundtime anymore. Perhaps instead of a fixed time it could be a Paladin curse. The flavor could be that, like other glyphs, it decays over time, with a high chance to cause spikes of roundtime at the beginning and a low chance at the end.
