How to make nice custom spell animations?

[IronForge]

I'm trying to create something like this effect. Anyone knows how?

It damages all enemies in the AOE and heals all allies.

I already have the sun model, but how do I make the AOE thing on the ground and the sun model stay on for 60 seconds? I suppose I could put in the sun as a unit using triggers, a little clumsy but works, but having hell getting the aura thing there.

I am no map or spellmaker at all so this is probably a total noobs extremely messy lag causing solution but....Looping 'create effect at point' trigger using that aura as the effect.

Well but how do I create a timed one? Also, how do I make it bigger/smaller? Theres no option to resize the aura.

Use a dummy model. Simply attach the effect onto the model then scale it and set duration. In this case apply a timed life to the dummy unit

How to attach timed life that is 40 seconds? Without triggers?

If it is a dummy,, you can give it 40 hp and give it -1.00 hp regen,, make sure you enable negative values in Map Preferences,, otherwise you cant give -1.00 hp regen,,

But then it can be killed... and I don't get my 40 seconds after all.

Also, what about non dummy units?
