The spell looks quite cool and I like the concept.
Maybe you could separate the "Lasts 5 seconds" in the tooltip from the description. Add two line changes.
You have one <last created hashtable> in the first trigger.
Using 0.05 seconds makes the movement of the wisps look jerky to me. Try 0.03.
Why is this
The wisps disappear quite abruptly. Maybe create a special effect, or make them fade away.
SL4 could be turned on/off too.
I think this check isn't needed in SL6.
Do you remove the caster from SL_Group?
Is the "already healing" boolean necessary? Can't you just chech whether the unit is in SL_Group?

This is really cool. I love the special effects. But as Maker says, the whisps should fade away. It would give the eyecandy a big plus.

The special effects are a win.
However try playing wisp's death animation instead of removing them?
Other solution is to create a GFX to cover that up(i suggest blink effect or night elf building explosion) which gives a better feeling.
This spell idea is not only refreshing but the concept is great.

Hello, thank you for the feedback.
I added a death effect to the wisps, I removed the unecessary "call DestroyGroup (udg_HealGroups)", I changed the tooltip (the "Lasts X seconds" part to be lower than the actual tooltip), I now remove the caster from the SL_Group. I also changed it, so that it checks whether the caster is in SL_Group, in order to avoid use of boolean. Changed 0.05 to 0.03.
Other:
If I turn on/off SL4, it doesn't work correctly.

If I don't make this check, suspicious lag comes up.I think this check isn't needed in SL6.
If the group is empty, it won't do anything anyway.

Spell idea was pretty nice, and I liked the effects.
I just have two suggestions for the eye candy of the spell:
I just have two suggestions for the eye candy of the spell:
- Make the wisps vanish as soon as the spell ends. (It looks a bit strange to see them still there if the spell abruptly ends.)
- I felt that it was static to see the healing wisps always came from the front and mana wisps from the bottom of the caster.
You could make the wisps' offset depend on the caster's facing angle. Or you could make the wisps come in an alternating pattern. (So that the healing circle becomes more colorful and a bit more random)
Of course, you shouldn't change this if you intended the spell to be like this.
