Here is a description how to implement this spell in your map:
1)You need to copy the dummy hook.
2)You need a spell that can target neither point or unit(channel,breath of fire etc.)I used breath of fire for it.Rename it Phantom Hook.
3)You need to go to World Editor>File>Preferences>Automatically create unknown variables while pasting triggering data.
4)Copy-Paste the Phantom hook Category in your Map(you can delete the How to implement comment)
