For 1,000gp and years of deliberate planning, You could neutralize anyone.
Consider the Flawed version of the Nacreous Grey Sphere Ioun Stone.
The relevant text reads, "The stone remembers the wearer’s age at the time he first wore it and always restores his appearance to that age, even if he hasn’t worn it for years or it has been worn by other people."
Now, consider a storyline in which a cult leader, tyrant or controlling organization, appeared at every birth and placed one of these Ioun stones over the head of every infant born in an area. Perhaps even a church held a "blessing" rite that included the momentary placement of this stone.
As the years pass, should anyone in the region ever step out of line, commit a crime or displease the authority, they could be compelled in some way to hold and then release this stone, reverting that person's body to that of his or her infancy. As an infant, there would be no way that individual could reach out and retrieve a circling object even one foot away from the baby's head.
I'd love to see a plot hook based around this idea.
