In order to make the Flare spell MUI, each player would need their own version of the variables "ExplosionMage" and "FlareDummy".
To set MUI capabilites up without creating a bunch of needless triggers, set it up so that flare detonation uses a "condition: OR" function, so you can have it check which player's
ExplosionMage is casting the spell. Do the same for FlareDummy on "Flare Explosions" as well.
As a side note, for other uses of the flare system, you could instead of damaging the enemy units in the path, put a debuff on them by creating a dummy unit to cast a spell on the picked targets.
Be sure if you use this method that you dispose of the dummy units by killing or removing them.
