I think you would need to code that manually (ie, a manual spell).

The best way would be to add an AFF_WHIRLWIND (or some such affect), and set the duration when the spell is cast. Take a look at the charm spell, which is quite similar to what you are looking for. You could also test for this affect when you are searching through the caster's followers to limit the number of whirlwinds. That way players are not penalized for having human followers.
