This resource has been set to Rejected by BPower.

Reason:
Everything is hardcoded which is not standard of the spell submissions ruleset nowadays.
Damage dealing should be coded and not be done object based ( immolation ).
The "TriggeringUnit" should be stored somewhere to reduce the overall computation time within the loop.
For such a short and simple spell the overall code efficiency is terrible.
Compared to other approved submissions, this spell offers nothing unique and can be re-produced very quickly.

From moderator to user:
If you still consider using this spell in your map, be aware that terrain deformations create a permanent leak
in data which can not be removed. Apart from that the spell is MUI and leakless.

An ok spell, unfortunatly nothing really special, alsmot everyone has made a nova of some kind who makes spells. It is one of the better GUI ones I have seen thou. Thus I can recommend its use for people who like GUI.

Possiable areas of improvement:
- Better testing map with reheal on esc and revive on death and other useful features.
- Better import documentation.
- Better modification documentation (explaning what each part does) so beginners can easilly modify the spell to suit their needs.

Pretty basic, although still very nice.
It´s your first spell, good job!
My first spell leaked like hell.

Oh btw, I don´t think GUI=ZoMg!
Of course, Jass is simply more effective but you mostly won´t notice a difference ingame if your GUI is 'well-coded'. Additionally around 95% of the mappers are using GUI. Fact.

That is why i hate people saying gui is unefficient (even if it is). I couldnt care less if it doesnt lagg at the game. Also one of the reasons why I dont learn jass.
