Hello,

I noticed that Frost Armor, and Frost Armor (Auto Cast) are two.

Lich, and most neutral creeps only have the Auto Cast ability Given to them.

My Questions are:
  1. What is the purpose of the scond ability (The none auto cast)? is it used when frost armor is manually cast.
  2. If I want to change the stats, do I have to modify both abilities?
  3. What if I want to create custom ability?
Im having a feeling that it was normal ability then it was updated to auto cast.

Edit: can confirm. Looks like the none auto cast was just beta version.

I believe they are the same, one is just auto-castable.

If you want to alter the stats alter the stats of the one of the two you will use, if you use both alter both.
You can modify the ability to your liking, give it more armor, or adjust the buff duration, my suggestion is make the ability only castable on the unit that has it, (set targets to self) and make it give the unit like +10 armor.
