I think its possible i cant try i have WE opend .. but well dude you need to post this in 'WE Help zone' maybe thats an idea :)

What about of set that item ability stats-item ability = false and stats-hero abilty = true?

You can then set a number of levels of that ability, if you want (because many hero abilities have multiple levels).

I think what Mechanical_Man said will work...

Mh i've tried to do it but you cant add any 'learn' or any other strings to it .. it also when i attached it on a hero doesnt show up as a ability you can learn.. mh .. this could be impossible or just rly hard xD

Well, it is not impossible if you use Spellbooks, but that would be very hard.

An alternate option is to use the Tinker's Upgrade ability and make it an item ability. Set the damage/speed bonus fields to 0 (if you want) and then you can replace up to four of the Hero's abilities. If you want to replace less than four, remember to set the other fields to replace any X ability with X ability otherwise it causes problems.

this is ezy : set item ability:false, set hero ability: true , VERY IMPORTANT : add RESEARCH ICON (or it woulnt show up i think) and then just add levels etc etc etc

Ya, this should work. Maybe try restrarting WE after saving if research icon, etc. don't show up. Sometimes they won't appear until after you have reloaded the map.

tried and tested
what are actually the learn strings and what not
i always see them and never see a reason to alter them and what not

The learn, etc. strings are just tooltips that show up when you are initially learning the ability. They have no technical use, though they make the spell much more user-friendly and a lot easier to manage.

EDIT: Oh, and solution to your problem. When learning the abil, it gives the abil, it just can't be seen/accessed. So, for auras and bonuses, just give the unit a dummy passive spell with no effect but with the tooltip, and for target spells, give a dummy spell that activates the desired spell when it is used. Hope this helps...
