You can check the spell in the testmap, which also comes with an "Read Me" for how to import it.

hvo-busterkomo: The coding is pretty good overall, but please do not use an array just to have access to a large number of variables. Use an array when the index is being used meaningfully. In other words, MUI[1], MUI[2], and MUI[3] should all be separate variables.
I don't see any more problems with the coding, and the spell seems to work and looks fine visually.
Good spell but the caster can travel outside map and the AOE when the damage is dealth, both when traveled and impact, is to small. Also, you should meaby recycle this. But i am just 50 - 50 about that. Try to recycle and then try the spell again, but with all three. If you find it less laggy and no changes, then you should save the recycle in the triggers.

That's why they are both configurables, so you can set it to whatever value you want, I just find smaller ones best, otherwise the damage is really big if you travel ~1000 units.

just try using serpent ward as its base ability, it should prevent you from going to a unwanted terrains...
I already have an solution to the problem, thank you anyway.

The whole thing recycles when all instances of the spell ends, meaning, it's already lagless. I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here.

Sadly , we can go outside of the map ( the black tileset around the map ), maybe you should fix
