How to make triggered spell NOT work with spell shield

So i have a triggered spell that uses finger of death as its base and if that spell is blocked or missed the spell still runs becuz its triggered already obviously. But whats an easy way to let the spell shield amulet still block it like any normal target spell?

Well you could add an if-then-else, if a unit has Item-Type of Spell Shield or any other that has that ability, don't do damage, if he doesn't have that Item, do the damage ect. If it's a spell that you get, then you could use a integer Variable that you put to 1 if a player gets that spell then in the if-then-else put if Integer Variable equals to 1 don't do damage if it's 0 do damage ect. or just add those units to a unit group and if the Targeted Unit of Ability being Cast is in that group don't do damage ect.

Also, if the spell has a cooldown, add another variable to your if-then-else if that variable is 1 that means the cooldown is finished and should not damage, then put the variable to 0 and run a trigger that has a 15sec(or the cooldown of your ability) wait and then set the variable to 1. If the variable is 0 and the cooldown isn't finished it will not damage ect. Hope it helps

or make it look cool and redirect the lightning of the ability to a new angle.
using this code:

bonebreaker gave me the answer.

you can just reset the location 2 of the lightning to the shielded unit,
and put location 1 to the unit, and location 2 to the new point.
then destroy it.

yeah its not really a damaging spell and not too worried about the refection of it or angles. Just mostly the blocking power of the spell shield and taking into account its 2 min cd time. and theres also a 2nd shield item with a 30 sec cd time.
