That is some horrible, horrible triggering.

Basically you could calculate 5 points around the caster and then link them together, for example:

1 with 3 and 4
2 with 4 and 5
4 with 1

This creates five points around the unit with even spaces. The first point is straight north of the unit.

• Untitled Trigger 084
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set u = Paladin 0006 <gen>
    • Set point = (Position of u)
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set points[(Integer A)] = (point offset by 256.00 towards (90.00 + (72.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at points[(Integer A)] facing Default building facing degrees

After the loop, create the lightnings using the correct begin and starting points and remove the points.

Here's a simple system:

Trig

• Untitled Trigger 084
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set u = Paladin 0006 <gen>
    • Set point = (Position of u)
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set points[(Integer A)] = (point offset by 256.00 towards (90.00 + (72.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)
    • Custom script: set udg_lightnings[0] = AddLightningEx("AFOD", true, GetLocationX(udg_points[0]), GetLocationY(udg_points[0]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[0]) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_points[2]), GetLocationY(udg_points[2]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[2]) + 50)
    • Custom script: set udg_lightnings[1] = AddLightningEx("AFOD", true, GetLocationX(udg_points[0]), GetLocationY(udg_points[0]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[0]) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_points[3]), GetLocationY(udg_points[3]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[3]) + 50)
    • Custom script: set udg_lightnings[2] = AddLightningEx("AFOD", true, GetLocationX(udg_points[1]), GetLocationY(udg_points[1]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[1]) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_points[3]), GetLocationY(udg_points[3]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[3]) + 50)
    • Custom script: set udg_lightnings[3] = AddLightningEx("AFOD", true, GetLocationX(udg_points[1]), GetLocationY(udg_points[1]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[1]) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_points[4]), GetLocationY(udg_points[4]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[4]) + 50)
    • Custom script: set udg_lightnings[4] = AddLightningEx("AFOD", true, GetLocationX(udg_points[4]), GetLocationY(udg_points[4]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[4]) + 50, GetLocationX(udg_points[2]), GetLocationY(udg_points[2]), GetLocationZ(udg_points[2]) + 50)
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_points[bj_forLoopAIndex])

That's not much of a spell yet, it just shows how to create the lighntings. The 50 there is the height offset from the ground and AFOD is the lightning type.
