good for a first attempt (I think?)
but this spell is way too basic to be accepted even more so since it's not MUI
maybe you should have more effects such as the caster taking nearby units with it when it is done channeling, or granting bonus move speed, dmg in aoe effect
better than me preaching tho, I think what you need to do is go sample other recommended spells here/read more tutorials and copy what they do for a bit. See how some of the better GUI spells are triggered and try to understand why.

1. call RemoveLocation(udg_Postion[1])
you use this twice in the cast trigger
2. you dont remove point leak in the loop triggers
3. do not use waits. waits which wait 0.00 seconds are not only bad they are pointless too.
4. you should nerver turn the loop on / off that way. Instead just created the effect and then remove it. The loop is pointless.
5. you remove the unit the wrong way, it leaks.
6. you should remove the effect instantly after you create it, do not wait until the end of the trigger.
7. you play the casters slam animation before you have set the caster variable to a value.
I think that's it. Pretty good for a first try.

Nice you post your triggers here, but please use '
' code for it.
What would make me to use this spell instead of normal blink ability of object editor? I can change the duration time, and even change the effect there.
It's not looking bad, but actually for me it's not special enough.. it's just a simple 'move instantly' action, and rest of code is only about special effects.
_____________________________
Even you may be right ofc, that it's only first try.. but that does not change anything to get this approved.
_____________________________
If you want to work on it, this may help you: How to get your GUI spell approved
And also you can try to make it more unique, just a special feature which differs your spell from usual one.. gl
Edit:
Please add a version number, and if you work on further versions a changelog would also be good.

Yes, waits are inaccurate and not recommended. And in this case I agree, but wait 0.00 seconds can be useful sometimes.. just if you wanna start a new thread.

I remember I had to use it once. But that is in one of 50+ systems I have made so the chance gotta be small. And in his case it isnt useful in a any way.

I have to add: You shouldn't pause the caster. PauseUnit should always be avoided if possible.
Do not surrender now, there is good advice above.
