Can a unit have multiple instances of the same ability with different levels?

I'm going to be placing dummy units with multiple auras that share the same buff and effect, but may have different range, target and/or varying degrees of increase/decrease.

I'll have a dummy unit with devotion aura which give +5 armor to allies within 2000 units and -5 to enemies. Another with +/-10 within 1500, +/-15 within 1000 and so on.

So the idea is that the effectiveness increases for nearer units and decrease if they are farther away.

Do I have to either make multiple dummy units on the same spot or multiple abilities instead of just having say 6 levels of the same devotion aura on the same dummy unit? Like level 1 could give that +5 to allies, level 2 could give -5 to enemies, level 3 +10 allies etc.

I mean it's not really that big of a deal to have multiple dummy units at the same location but if you can have less you'd rather, right?

Make a spellbook andplace all the effect abilities (devotion auras) inside it.
I suppose that you could try to fiddle with it so they will use the strongest one, but I am not sure.

If you want to hide the spellbook from the UI, then you can disable that ability for all players at map init with triggers.

How do I make them have different levels though? Like would I add the first spell book first, increase level of ability id, add 2nd and increase level of ability id again etc?

Or how could you possibly do it? Idk how I'd tell any difference between them, even if I had 6 different instances of the same ability how can I make them have their own level?

You cant add the same ability multiple times, you do need multiple devotion auras.
You can change the level of those abilities via triggers though.

ok, I just thought it might be possible since your unit supposedly get the abilities from items and those stack.

But like I said having multiple dummy units isn't really that big of a deal.
