For each ability you want to be purchasable, create a different item. Make sure the item restock time is 0. Make your building able to make (NOT sell, make) these items. Then put this trigger into your map.

Trigger Buy Ability

Events

Unit - unit acquires an item

Conditions

None

Actions

Custom Script: if ( GetItemTypeId(GetManipulatedItem()) == [insert raw code for an item type here] ) then
Item - remove manipulated item
Unit - Add [ability associated with item] to Triggering unit
Custom Script: elseif ( GetItemTypeId...
...
...
Custom Script: endif

Basically, for every ability, add in another "elseif", so that every time a unit buys an item, the item is instantly removed from the unit's inventory and the ability is added to the unit. The reason for the custom script is because elseif is a lot better than having dozens of if-then-else loops.

in custom hero arena they use triggers to level it up. i haven't played it in a while, but did you ever notice that they don't directly give you the ability, but instead like "Attack ability", "Defense Ability", etc. they still use triggers.

it's set up so that when you learn the ability, it takes away the old "level" of the spell and gives the new one. actually, the "hero ability" button might be a spell book-based ability. set up an array of 4 whatever for each player, have each position represent a different abil (offensive, defensive, extra, ult) and then have the trigger for buying the ability change the number at the array based on what's bought. have other triggers, one for each player, go off that when the spells are "learned" (in the spell book case, casted) it gives the next level of the spell, which is being kept track of by the array. there's somebody here who could explain it a lot better than i can, but they may not care to answer.
