This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Sorry, it was very hard to get a good picture for the spell, check it ingame instead.
I created this ability because I didn't have anything to do exactly. Well, it's 100% MUI and LEAKLESS (what I can see, tell me if you find any leaks or something that makes this non-MUI).
The spell is a target-unit spell, it's really easy how it works. You simply electrify an enemie target unit. Each 2.5 second (you can change this) a lightning will be created and damage nearby units of this unit (enemie units). The lightning will jump x times, but it will deal less damage each jump it does. The electrified unit can't create lightnings at it self, it must have a nearby unit close to it to create a lightning. Yes, the lightning is able to jump back to the electrified unit.

This spell is called: Electric Charge.
Spell version: 1.1a
Spell created by: The_Flood (Flood @ hiveworkshop)
How do I modify this spell?
Well, the only things you'll have to change can be found in the "Electric Charge Cast" trigger. Read the comments and modify the spell
in the way you want it.
Remember, that a part of the spell is also located in the Object Editor. The ability EC_DummyAbility contains some things that this spell
uses. Like, damage, number of jumps, and more...
- - - - - - - How to import this spell? - - - - - - -
Make sure you've checked the box in: File > Preferences > General > Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data.
This will make the import ALOT easier, or else you'll have to copy and paste all variables one by one.
The second thing you'll have to do is copy two spells and one unit. Copy those abilities:
1. Electric Charge
and
2. EC_DummyAbility
...and copy this unit:
1. EC_DummyUnit
When you're done with this you'll have to copy two triggers, they are below this "comment-trigger", they are:
1. Electric Charge Cast
and
2. Electric Charge Loop
...this is the only things you'll need for this ability.

Also you have 2 temp variables (EC_Point[] and EC_UnitGroup[]) no need for them to be arrays, remove the arrays and use them like that.

No,no and no. Use group filters, not if/then/else.

Kingz is right as always... i like the spell and its leakless
if you fix this glibberish thing in your triggering 10/10, right now 8.5/10 but
I vote for approval in each case

Hey I know this spell
It's used in EotA (eve of the apocalypse)
Still I think you did a good job in coding it so I give you 9/10 (if you fix those mentioned bugs)

@DarkAngelAzazel, I've no idea of what this "EotA" is ^^ So I don't really know... Thanks
