This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
I extracted the texture of Hand of Freedom's model from WoW MPQ, converted it, and used it to make corresponding model in War3 Model Editor, using Unholy Aura as base model, and added Purple Glow to it. I hope I don't break any rules. Credits go to Blizzard. I made it for my map anyway.
EDIT 22.01.18:
Now the glow uses new geoset, with smoother animation, nice scaling, and the texture is more visible, the alpha animation is removed. Exactly like I wanted it to be in the first place.
Also included screenshot of how it is ingame
Update: added deatj animation
update 08/07/23:
- added birth animation
- fixed errors by sanity check
- in birth and death the aura disappears instead of scaling

Well, since it is not forbidden to use WoW assets any more this could be very interesting indeed. Could you please provide in-game screenshots? I have a feeling that the runic aura won't be too visible when in game.

Ok then, try to fix the problem with transparency.

Please add a death animation to the model.

Not really. The animation is faulty and is still set to looping. Please fix that.

As you did not drew the texture yourself and the model is rather simple, I will put it in substandard.

With this logic most of the models on HIVe also should be substandard, because there are many edits that use blizzard's textures and models. This is a Blizzard texture too, but from WoW. So, what difference does it make? It shouldn't be in substandard.

Honestly, I don't see why you make such a fuss about it. The model is super simple and you did not make any adjustments for the wrap or edited the texture in anyway.
And if you want to compare your model most of the model in the model section then I must say that your model is on the lowest spectrum of it. I am sorry to say, but you don't want to compare your stuff to other model, because there is not much to compare. Not everything is a pure gem and you should not have so little modesty to be honest.
This is not meant as an offence, this is merely meant to make this model still be available to people despite its over-simplicity and shortcomings.

Can it be edited? I found that the model will be blocked.

I don't know how to describe it.
This Aura appears to be above the unit rather than below.

Oh, it had the tag 'no depth test' checked. Now unchecked.
