that's simple. In data editor, in right to the spells section there should be effects (Or maybe "Buff", I have non-english version so don't know), right? If not, you have a too low game version and you don't even have this function immplemented!

So anyway, if you have it, create a new effect in there, name it as you want and give the icon you want, set so it wouldn't have any sounds/effects if you want. Now with the spell itself, scroll down and find the "ability-effect" or whatever it's called. Anway it should have an "effect" or "buff" in it. Now you change the one there is to one you created and it should be done.

You can't really delete the visuals of a buff in the sense that the icon will still be shown in the unit's status panel. You could try using an ability that doesn't depend on a buff (like Finger of Death, Chain Lightning, etc.) but that means you need to count the time yourself in the spell. (Which shouldn't be too hard since you're already doing that with TriggerSleepAction...)

The reason why the Soul Burn buff is shown is because that's the default buff for Soul Burn. Simply leaving the Buff field blank will make the spell use Soul Burn as its buff.
