Your condition for the first trigger got a problem.
You need to put all the 3 conditions inside the Or - Any (Conditions) are true
I also suggest using a Unit-Type Comparison instead of random units.

I would've done some fixing and memory leak removal if I had Warcraft 3 on this notebook :<

Also the spell isn't MUI since everytime a new owl will be summoned the point changes



EDIT
This still doesn't give the owl the mana and I can't remember all actions without having the WorldEditor with me D:

You could have a look at a spell I made to make a unit drain gold (could be adjusted to drain mana)

Moment link coming: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1180530-post8.html

Check my Alchemist's Stone spell
It could be usefull, but it uses a heal on itself everytime to do the draining (so you would need negative health regen on the owl)

Really sorry, but I need my World Editor and then I would do this for you fully triggered :C

I think youd better keep only the 2nd trigger and every second pick all manaowls (level 1,2,3 and whatever) and just for every manaowl pick all units near it nd drain theire mana. so its also multiinstancable

 

[Billy the Cat]

Oh eh Arnadath is right

You don't really need the first trigger if you just select all owls every 1.00 seconds

It would just be nice if you had a trigger to turn off and on the timed trigger

Like:
Unit Enters Playable Area

Or-
Unit = Owl Level 1
'' Level 2
'' Level 3

Turn on [Your timed trigger]

And on the second trigger:
Create a group for all owls of level 1 2 and 3
If the number of units in the group = 0
Turn of this trigger
Else do what's needed. (pick all units in the group and do the draining)

And don't forget memory leaks.

glad to help you

Give +rep to those who help you

Ungerbla you haven't added the target units into the manaowltargets group.
That's why it doesn't affect the other units just the owl itself.

No triggers required for this. Just make a brilliance aura that has negative mana regen. Hold shift when you select the value to make it negative.

EDIT II: Added a map with a new and already tested trigger
This should work
