The triggering could be in some ways abit better and also the use of visual effects isn't perfect but apart from that the spells are really nice.

Also the idea to make such a spellpack with a theme like this is very original, good job.

I haven't seen anything interesting, new or unique here. Just a collection of "Spawn Unit - Order Unit" actions. And I also can't understand, why you are so excited by this... However, it's MUI, but all of these spells don't support multi-level. Really, I dislike to give bas marks, but this spells are just useless ;(

Why? oO

This thread is for these particular spells.

Talking about your Demonic Rampage: I saw. However, I wasn't commenting resources that time, just looking =) And in any way, these two spellmaps are different, I'm judjing only on it.

why I realy like it:
-for me it looks new and refreshing..
-its finaly something that (in my opinion) looks realy great for "Just a collection of "Spawn Unit - Order Unit" actions."
-its inspiring
-it has it looks


second(all in my oppinion):
i'm learning to program java @ school and i have done a lot of rubish in the word editor using trigers.. so i know ow hard it is sometimes to create easy things (yeh sometimes easy things are hard).. I only judge on MUI and LOOKS, possibility for more levels is third to come.. and that's gives a challenge when you want to have it with multiple levels..

I doubt you've seen this ;)
no i hadn't.. buts it a bit to shiny (feels overdone to me)

and Aspard you probably have your one things with you use to judge maps

As much as i would like to say this is a thing i never saw in my life it wouldn't be true....
The glyph idea is good, the glyphs themselves aren't....
Example:
Glyph of nature should have at the least some more effect like upon casting all trees in the area come to life to serve the caster as treants upon dying/expiring they return to their tree form.
Glyph of doom should have example an aura granting that units that die while under it release a chaos spawn or such.
And not to say anything more this is basic triggering + cleaning of leaks you cannot expect to get 5/5 on these spells.
Where the idea is nice the real part ain't, their usability is questioned as is their existence cause some lose their effectivness compared to others...
Cause i dislike giving bad ratings i will sustain myself from rating though i think these spells as they are deserve a 3/5 only cuz they are MUI and the idea is nice.

You got some nice spells.
However they lack of features, someone as said something about the nearby trees transform into treants or something, that is a really nice feature for the glyph of nature.

Also about your coding, I guess storing a special effect in a variable and then destroy it through JASS is less efficient than destroy directly, I'm not sure about this, but you're using more memory when you store a value to a varible so..
Also you don't need to use expiration timer actions when your dummy isn't a controllable one. Just set his life to how many seconds you want and then set his life regeneration to -1.00 and it will do the work.

[EDIT] And another thing, your special effects are too stopped, try to make them more dynamic.
