"Earth Spirit smashes the target enemy, ally, or Stone Remnant, knocking it back in the direction he is facing. The knocked back target deals damage to all units it hits. If the target was a Stone Remnant, damaged targets are also stunned, and the travel distance is improved, as well as it could impact with another Stone Remnants, creating a new instance of Boulder Smash. Stone Remnants can't be hit more than once per cast, or during flight. There are two additional instances of damage and stun; once when cast, the other when the Stone Remnants impacts another stone remnant without bounces remaining, as it deals damage and stun over an area one last time."
Range: 150
Radius: 200
Slam Distance: 500/600/700/800 (2000 when using a Stone Remnant)
Slam Speed: 1200
Damage: 50/75/100/125
Max Damage: 150/300/500/750 (Stone Remnant)
Stun Duration: 0.75/1.25/1.75/2.25 seconds (Stone Remnant)
Bounce Limit: 1/2/3/4 (Stone Remnant)
Cooldown: 22/18/14/10
Manacost: 100
Note:
- The secondary targets will be only recognized if it is within 120 degrees cone in front of the primary target.
- Should the target (if a stone remnant) impacts a Stone Remnant in it's path, such Stone Remnant will be launched as if it was cast with Boulder Smash, and stops the last stone remnant.
- Flight path of secondary Boulder Smashes generated by other Stone Remnants could be erratic, as they will not follow the same direction as the Primary Target, but will have a direction based on their own by calculating the angle from the Primary Target to the secondary Stone Remnant that is to be launched by a secondary Boulder Smash when it impacts. This means, you can curve your shots.
- Assuming you have used 5 Stone Remnants successfully, you could have dealt as much as 750 magic damage.
- Should the Primary Target impacts a valid Secondary Target, the Primary Target stops and ends it's instance of Boulder Smash. This means, there could be only one instance of flight as per cast.
- Each Stone Remnant can only be bounced up once by a single cast.
- Should the current flying stone remnant impacts another stone remnant, without any bounce remaining, the entire Boulder-Smash chain stops. But it deals damage over the area one last time.
As Always, values are debatable.

Explanation:
Earth Spirit is good for combination attacks, by using his Stone Remnant right?
But so far, i have noticed that it will be extremely problematic for him as it doesn't deal a lot of damage with his skills unless properly chained. Very disruptive granted, but then again you have to rely solely only on few things to kill.
If you would please go here; http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Earth_Spirit, you can see that Earth Spirit is technically a Carry Nuker. And i find that questionable, mainly because he doesn't have that much good auto attack (decent but not his money maker), and so far his Magnetize and Geomagnetic grip only has decent damage, and you can't use Magnetize frequently. If anything, he should have been a Disabler Nuker, not a Carry.
So, this idea is simple; Spam him with Skill Shot Chain Reactions!
Boulder Smash - What happens is that the Primary Target (The target which you cast Boulder Smash on), it could hit other Stone Remnants during it's flight. And those Secondary Stone Remnants will also be launched as if they were used in a separate instance of Boulder Smash. But the Primary Target will be stopped when it hits a valid Secondary Target. With this, it is entirely possible to make an Arcing shot, provided you know what you are doing. The Secondary Targets are eligible in another instance of damage.
Think of it like Billiards, if you are having a hard time imagining what happens.

"0.3125 Loop Interval" - Leave it alone, i like 0.03s, and it works. There are no issues there but your preference than triggering concern.
"Shorten your variable names" - Leave it alone, i like it that way. And it violates my OCD if it was not organized as such.

Pretty cool spell, 4/5 for the idea itself and nicely done.
Only thing I saw when I looked over the triggers was what Bannar said.
However since you already add the timer to the trigger as the event you may as well switch to 0.31250000 or what you already said you dislike, it allows for one more frame or two which is more accurate and smoother. Since it is a periodic event maybe you should switch it to a timer because periodic events continually run even after the trigger is off, I found out when like 3 people told me. Though it is a GUI spell so it doesn't matter as much, only matters if you want it to be a top spell with best possible efficiency.

Cast Cancel
-
Events
-
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
-
Conditions
-
And - All (Conditions) are true
-
Conditions
-
(Ability being cast) Equal to C_BS_Boulder_Smash_Ability
-
((Target unit of ability being cast) is in BS_In_Effect) Equal to True
-

-
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
On BS loop the special effects should be configurable.
Looks like a nice spell. 4/5

You should NEVER EVER use "a unit begins casting"... Because it can bug, just use "a unit starts an effect..."

Because, you weren't supposed to cast the ability on a moving target. This cancels the spell immediately.

There is one thing you did do wrong actually, just take the and - all out. It already counts that without the and - all.

Yes and no.
This is technically a Dota Skill... so it's not up to me. But then again yes because it's not yet implemented.

It is bad practice to turn on loop triggers already running.

So far, it works and it's fine.

- In many cases you should store "Last created unit" into a TmpVariable to avoid multiple calls of same function and to gain performance.
- I don't think pausing the dummy is really needed. Avoid it if possible, probably just adding locust to the unit in object editor is enough?
- As Dat-C3 has mentioned "And - All (Conditions) are true" is not needed in your Cast Cancel trigger.
I also see this in loop trigger of yours. If you just add condtions they are automatically linked with "and" in between... so all must be true.
The only case you might need it is if you work with "Or - Condtions" block. - In BS Cast trigger:
-->-
(Unit-type of BS_Remnant[BS_MUI_Index]) Equal to Stone Remnant
Also as mentioned by Mythic, only make following action if index equals 1:-
(Unit-type of BS_Remnant[BS_MUI_Index]) Equal to C_BS_Remnant_Type
-
Trigger - Turn on BS Loop <gen>
-
- In loop:
^This should be moved into deindex part. (And could be changed just to Equals 0, but that doesn't really matter.)-
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
-
If - Conditions
-
BS_MUI_Index Less than or equal to 0
-
-
Then - Actions
-
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
-
-
Else - Actions
-
In your Unit Group enumeration you still use "Picked Unit". Use your variable Temp_Unit instead. -
- You can deindex if "BS_Count[BS_Integer_A] Less than or equal to 1" instead of when it gets 0. Then you might move following operation into Ellse - Actions, where you decrement the counter:
-
Set BS_Count[BS_Integer_A] = (BS_Count[BS_Integer_A] - 1)
-
- DamageType and AttackType should be configurable.
-
^In this unit group enumeration you can directly destroy the group after you found a matching unit with:
-
Set TempGroup = (Units within C_BS_Search_AOE of TempLoc00 matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to C_BS_Remnant_Type) and (((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is in BS_In_Effect) Equal to False)) and ((((Matching unit) is in BS_Last_M
-
Set Temp_Unit = No unit
-
Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
-
Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup)
-
- Special effects should be configurable.
- You might consider of making it useable with multiple levels, not only one.
- Names of variables are too long and unreadable in some cases, i.e:
- You don't need the word "MUI" in any variable name. (even if your spell is MUI)
- "Integer_A". You create custom integers, so no need to tend to given default loop integer names of the GUI. Something like "Int" would suffice. - Useful comments for configuration and a guide through your system code would be helpful.
That's it for now. The idea is cool I think. From the video I saw that the unit was moved out of map border. You might want to change this.
If you make the changes I might find some new points to mention, have a nice day!
