You can have a hero able to learn 7 spells in the editor but ingame the select spell system only displays 5 of them.

Consider switching to a trigger based ability system where you learn the spells using a full screen display like seen in "Heroes and Empires II alpha" or using a dummy unit with all the wanted hero abilites at lvl 1 and everytime one of them is clicked it lvls up the normal spell on the hero it self.
When I refer to the normal spell I mean a non-hero spell which is increased in lvl and should techinaly have the same effect as it's hero equivlent.

I recomend idea 2 since idea 1 requires alot of imports and some people think the trackables cause splits in multiplayer if not programed properly.

Well, in the map Molten Core you can have 7 spell via multiple trigger you start with 2 ability to learn, each directing you to an another page of ability to learn. But the trigger look too hard for me... You can still get the map and look at it, it's not protected...
 
Yep triggering it's definitely possible. The only way you could get it to display all of them is if you remove one of the normal buttons(i.e.) the attack command.

actualy, i want one to be learned at the ultimate level (100) so it will replace "learn hero abilities" button

...and btw i dont want to use triggering (since i have 22 (maybe will add more) heroes...)

yeah, brainer, and that triger would be like "if ability being cast equal to Learn Flamestrike, than set level for Flamestrike on casting unit to level of flamestrike on casting unit +1"

and do that for every single spell!!! (thats 25X7)

I didn't mean that! You can have a hero start with 2 normal ability. But I didn't mean that they need to have level... Those 2 ability would be basic and the other would be with levels.

... well anyway, if you REALLY want to have 7 hero ability with no trigger. Then I suggest you to get a program that I don't remember the name and that cost a LOT. Then open with it the WcIII Data base and modify the maximal number of abilities you can have and that, I don't know how. But still, it's your only hope to have 7 HERO ability non triggered...
