frost aspect and freezing enchantments

With powdered snow came a new type of damage, freezing damage and I think it would be kinda cool to add an enchantment to go with this new damage.

I present frost aspect and freezing

frost aspect would have a max level of 2 go on a sword or axe and cant be on the same item with fire aspect
it would inflict freezing damage on the target (if they aren't wearing leather armor in that spot) for an amount of time based on the level.
It would work in the nether and is more effective against such as blazes and magma cubes

freezing would have a max level of 1 go on a bow and cant be on a bow with flame 
it would inflict freezing damage on the target (if not wearing leather armor in that spot) for maybe 3,4, or 5 seconds. as well as slowness 1 for 2 seconds
it would not work in the nether as the frost (or whatever visual effect the arow may have) would melt of too fast to do anything however say you were able to lure something such as a magma cube or blaze to the end or the overworld it would be more effective against them.

    Freezing would now have to be a status effect for this idea to work. That's actually a great idea for a suggestion in itself.

    Since players don't have multiple hitboxes (the Enderdragon is the only mob that does) the part-specific armor protection wouldn't work as the game currently stands.

    Instead, how about freezing time is reduced for each piece of leather armor worn, and the full set negates it? Then maybe Frost Aspect 2 could have a stronger effect that leather armor can't fully block?

    I like the fact that "hot" mobs would take more damage, this could be good for Blaze farms. I'd like to add that "cold" mobs should be immune. It should go by how Powder Snow currently works.

    Conversely, although it's an immersive idea, Frost Aspect should not be disabled in the Nether, unless Powder Snow is changed to not work in the Nether also (which should be the case anyways).
