Cannabilize-Like Ability idea, need some help.

[aple]

I'm sure there's a way to do this with the Abilities already in the game, but if at all necessary Triggers will have to do.

The ability is a bit simple, I want something pretty much exactly like Cannibalize that instead of targeting corpses it can target living units, slowly dealing damage and restoring HP of the unit using the ability.

I'm pretty sure Cannabalize is a channeling-type ability, yes ?
If so, when you target a living unit, what will happen to that unit ?
Is it disable as in stunned ?

Or it can still move ?
If it move, does the spell is cancelled ?

You have to be specific.

Cannibalize cannot target living at all, unfortunately. Thats why I was hoping someone would remember a spell that works like Cannibalize that can.

I suppose the unit being stunned while it is being used would be beneficial, but not required.

Since Cannibalize is basically a life-draining ability, why not make it simpler by base your spell from Life Drain spell ?

Thanks, that's basically what I was looking for. An ability that functions the same but has added things. That'll work. =)
