This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
The user gathers star shaped missles in their vicinity created from Astral power and then proceeds to absorb their power creating a Supernova
-----------------------------------
-Creates 20 Projectiles within 600 AOE of the caster over 2 Seconds
-Caster can move during the spell
-After the last projectile has been created they will start to move towards the user
-If a projectile touches an enemy it will explode and disappear
-For each projectile that reaches the user one charge will be stored
-The supernova's AOE and Damage will vary depending in the charges stored
-----------------------------------
Damage per charge: 10/12/14/16/18
AOE Per Charge: 10/20/30/40/50

-
-------- First we set the basic Variables --------
-
Set AF_Index = (AF_Index + 1)
-
Set AF_MUI = (AF_MUI + 1)
-
-------- These two Integers are vital parts of a Indexing spell, allowing the MUI part to work --------
-
Set AF_Caster[AF_MUI] = (Triggering unit)
-
-------- Here we set which unit is casting the spell, using AF_MUI as the variable because every time the spell is activated AF_MUI will increase by 1 --------
-
Set AF_Damage_Set[AF_MUI] = (8.00 + (2.00 x (Real((Level of Astral Force for AF_Caster[AF_MUI])))))
-
-------- This is the calcualtion used to work out the amount of damage each charge will give to the Supernova --------
-
-------- It also sets the amount of damage a unit will recieve if it touches a star --------
-
Set AF_AOE_Set[AF_MUI] = (10.00 x (Real((Level of Astral Force for AF_Caster[AF_MUI]))))
-
-------- This sets how much each charge will increase the Supernova's AOE by --------
-
-------- It also sets the AOE of the stars explosions --------
-
Set AF_Star_AOE[AF_MUI] = 600.00
-
-------- This sets the size of the region in which the stars will appear --------
-
Set AF_Star_Movement[AF_MUI] = 25.00
-
-------- This sets the rate at which the stars will approach the caster --------
-
Set AF_Start_Limit[AF_MUI] = 20
-
-------- This sets the maximum amount of stars --------
-
Set Star_Movement_Check[AF_MUI] = False
-
-------- This tells the game whether the Stars should be moving or not, at the start they shouldn't be so it is set to false --------
-
Set AF_Star_Create_Time[AF_MUI] = 3
-
-------- This says how often a star will be created --------
-
-------- 3*0.03 = 0.09, 0.09*20 = 1.8 (I know it's not 2, but i dealing with 0.03 seconds, making it customisable whilst not using timers is annoying) --------
-
Set AF_ON[AF_MUI] = True
-
-------- This says whether or not the spells is considered "On" so it doesn't run the triggers for the spell if it is finished --------
-
-------- --------
-
Set Star_Create_Current_Time[AF_MUI] = 0
-
Set AF_Star_Amount[AF_MUI] = 0

Firstly, the oversized gif makes it harder to browse. If you could make it a little bit smaller, that would be lovely.
In the second chunk of your loop triggers, you use Picked Unit a lot of times. Better store the picked unit(s) into a variable before you call any functions with it, that way, you save some functions.
I'm not sure about this, but when checking conditions if the picked unit is alive, or an enemy, or is not a structure etc. you don't make 1 long line. You use a group (Units in range) and then make an If Then Else statement to check the conditions, and if the actions meet the conditions, they are executed.
Store Last Created Unit into a variable as well, for the same reason as for Picked Unit(s).

You shouldn't use a FOR loop. It's seem easy to do but It's very slow. Try to use Unit Indexer or Hanky Indexer Template.

Some quick notes:
- Create a config trigger, where user can define certain aspects of the spell to his needs.
- Don't hardcode, if not needed. Try to make as much configurable/setable as possible.
- OwnerOfCaster could be indexed as well.
- Something like "MUI" doesn't really belong in a variable name. It's not really matching. Current/Max -Index is much better.
- Please add some import instructions.

Nearly every GUI spell that is not instant needs either a for loop or unit indexer to be MUI and there is a lot of it on hive. Does that mean that every single GUI spell must use an indexer?
Why?
It would help saying why it's bad not just saying it.
If you convert for loop to custom text, you'll see that it is actually using the following syntax:
JASS:
loop
exitwhen udg_Temp_Int > udg_Index
// do stuff
set udg_Temp_Int = udg_Temp_Int + 1
endloop
