Second thing I found is (this is not a mistake, rather an improvement)
This would be better of if you used a loop
Now my rating for this spell is 3/5. Hope this helps you.

Alright, spell 'causes massive lag for me as well.
This would be better of if you used a loopAnd in it increase the reals for your dummy creation in a circle (Integer A + 45 let's say). It would save you code lanes, and you could make the runes variable (their numbers) in the settings.
Now my rating for this spell is 3/5. Hope this helps you.
It has to be (Integer A x 45)

You are not removing leaks on SFX here:. Because you're adding a special effect (attaching it on a unit), so using DestroyEffect, won't work like that. I suggest you just add SFX on a point, rather then unit, but if you're using it on a unit, then apply it once, and remove it after the spell is done. Use variables for this.

Please replace the usage of CustomValues via a hashtable, it is a clean and easy solution for attaching values to units since some spells/systems can interfere with custom value usage.
