I'm making new spells to my map, and when i made 9 new spells (to 3 different units, they all got 3 spells now) one of the units got that shiny square around all three spells, and i cant choose which one to cast...

I tried to fix it myself, and found out all are based on Chain Lightning (because i can make that hit only 1 target, without a stupid stun from frostbolt etc. and its a mage... so i needed that :<), could that be a problem?

Btw, two of the spells are triggered to cause additional effects.

Yes, that's the problem.

Instead of using "chain lightning" as a base spell, use "Channel" as a base spell. Channel doesn't do anything except that it can be used as a target, point or area ability, can have a visible/hidden icon, etc. thus making the perfect dummy ability. Channel also has a "base order id". By changing that order id you can make sure your channel ability will not interfere with other abilities (granted they aren't using the same order id)
