In the object editor, at the top of the rows where the spell data is, there will be something like animation names, add spell there.

In the trigger editor, use the trigger action Animation - Display Animation (or something similar to that) and make it display spell animation.

Yes, there are animations that you can make for casting the spell, for example this ones:

-spell (normal spell, "Heal", "Holy Light" etc)
-channel ("Blizzard" "Death and Decay", etc)
-victory (There is no spell that uses this animation, but you can type it)
-loop (makes the other animations loop, but channel is always active, and loop doesn't work for it)
-Spin (Blademaster's Bladestorm)

And etc, like Birth, Dissipate, Slam and so.

And if you want extra special effects, like two or three effects caused by one spell, you can just trigger them.
Event: unit begins casting a spell
con: - Your conditions -
actions: Special effect - Create 'special effect' attached to unit/at unit's location etc.
Variable: Set 'last created special effect' = spelleffect1

Don't forget to use the variable if you use an effect placed on the ground, so you can destroy it again when the spell is over etc.
