Spell looks good! Descriptive config trigger and nothing game breaking in the code. I would appreciate it if you can add "How to Install" instructions in your description + map.

Needs Fixed

Nothing

Suggestions

CD is too generic for a variable prefix. This can cause issues if the user happens to have the same prefix in their map

Add configurables for the attachment points of the special effects that attach to the unit

Even though you only change the helper units vertex colors to (100%, 100%, 100%), I would add configurables for this as well

When you create the summoned units, you make them face the same angle as the helpers. Given that they can't move, I would store their facing angle when they first come out

Periodic timer should be configurable. If a user decided to change the loop to something else without changing everything else that is dependant to it, the spell will bug out

(Units within range) has a reference leak

Either CD_Point1 (a point variable) doesn't exist in the map or your map is set to Lua mode so the JASS custom scripts don't work. If that's the case you'll just need to remove the call from before each line to convert to Lua.
