Do custom spells based on Lighting Shield simply not work?

[Helpful Pug]

So I built a very simple spell based on Lightning Shield. I only changed the visuals, stats and made the ability a heroic ability, but otherwise left it alone. I used custom buffs (to change the visuals), but these buffs simply don't appear. The effect still occurs (nearby units take damage) but the buff itself doesn't, and the Sammy face "tooltip missing!" buff is applied to the target. I experimented plenty with the ability, simply using the default buffs works normally. Is this just another example of a broken-ass piece of the editor, or am I missing something?

You might be adding the wrong buff or the buff you made may be based off of the wrong ability, one that doesn't show up.

I am currently using a custom lightning shield and can confirm that it does work.
Post the object data?

Yes, Im pretty sure it does work normally.

Well, I was trying to use the Immolation models (still based on the lightning shield buff), maybe its those models?

It works fine when I tried it, try deleting the ability and remaking it and making sure each data field is properly set. If it's saying "Tool-tip missing!", and the visual (included in the buff) isn't appearing you've likely forgot to set it to that buff.
