Empty ability or item with no base

[noobhacker]

Hi, I'm new here so please guide me if I did something wrong.
What I'm looking for is as shown in title, I want an empty one to link to a trigger.
For item I'm currently using Experience Gain as base, but it will not be activated if the unit is at max level.
For ability, I really need something that is empty so I can attach custom script to it. According to Spells - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) it says that I cannot give multiple spell with same base to a unit or they will always be used together. I've tried something like Berserk but it gives the buff for no reason even I removed the buff from the ability.
How do I create empty ability or item? Thanks!

Create a buff (based or not on that ability) with no text, the only text should be there is the one: text - name (editor only), no effect, no icon, no art targets and attachments
On the ability, make it have 0.01 seconds duration for both hero and units, make art - caster have nothing, same goes for art - targets and attachments. The abilities who have a buff as default you need just to replace it with a dummy one, the one you just created.

The ability "channel" is a dummy ability for exactly this purpose, I would suggest using it. There are probably some tutorials on it somewhere here but I didn't look. Channel does not give a buff to the targets (so you don't have to do any of the buff stuff Wrda suggested, though you will have to change the effect art for the ability itself) and can have its base order string changed so it doesn't conflict with other spells (even other channel-based spells).

I think this would be a better try since it doesn't need custom buff and can have base order string changed. Thank you everyone!

Eh, this looked kind of vague and might have mislead me. If you are talking about non-stoppable spells (judging by your post e.g. berserk, tome of experience, divine shield, mana shield, immolation are all non-stoppable spells) then my suggestion would do perfectly. If it is about any other type of spells then Pyrogasm's suggestion is the best.
