Review for Spell

Most of the spells are extremely simple, like 5 lines long and most
of them are variable settings and clearings. I mean you even have a
1 line spell.
Furthermore a good portion of these spells are not even MPI.

I'm sure there are many more problems with these spells, but from
a quick glance this is what I saw and already it isn't approvable.

Some of the spells you made doesnt use triggers can you please remove them to cause less confusion. Like that druid hero and brilliance/endurance aura and so forth and also put a lower cooldown on the abilities i had to wait 90 seconds before i could use one of the abilities. You can put a trigger when a unit skips a cinematic, actions- reset cooldowns.

first of all, you have a good feel on spell ideas. but some of thse spells doesnt use triggers. for the non-trigger ones you might want to add some special abilities into it, it will become more interesting. (This is a very good map for people who is just started to understand GUI) 5/5 for idea 3.5/5 for abilities. over all i'll give it a 4/5 good job.

Really interesting spells, maybe not all of them unique and difficult to create, but I can't remember existing all of them on Hiveworkshop. It seems they are not leakful or laggy, and most of them also MUI. The main thing I'd like to point out about your job, is that there A LOT OF interesting and creative spells, not two or three, so it's a big plus from me. I'll rate your spellpack 5/5.

And by the way, I have question: Why there is a "Wait 0 seconds" action in triggers "Water Explosion", "Pressence" and "Psychic Embrace"? ;o) Any animation, that you create, will be played fully in any way, and Wait 0 = Wait 0 in any way... >.<

I think you should wait not for our comments, but for moderator's view. There is no doubt, it'll be approved, and I also can't understand in which order do they check spells. =)

And by the way: I'd like to see more! =)

Well Some spells are not MUI ...

Don't use Waits ... they make your spell seems impossible to be MUI ..

But overall .. your spells are instant cast .. and lovely ..

The favourite hero was .. the archer .. Ice arrow fire arrow .. and glaive thing..

But they are simple and lovely .. but some of them are not MUI..

You should fix that. ..

3/5 :D

First, lets address somethings.
For mass freeze, please move the custom scripts outside the Unit Group. Not sure if it bugs, but it would be best if you remove pointless variable nulling.
Ghost needs leaks removed.
Siphon Life needs to be MUI. I suggest you add the casting units into a Group and use a wait action (hate waits, but you could also try giving a buff to the unit and checking if it still has the buff) do the healing part to all units in the group. Possibly more effective+MUI
Apply the Unit Group Technique for Rootcraft too.

I'll look through the rest later.
If you are confused about how to apply the Unit Group MUI trick, look at my spellpack. It uses this many times.
A good spellpack. Although the spells are somewhat simple, they are really useful.

PS: Get an in-game Screenshot of some of the spells.

Well Zack, the easier way to make MUI spells now is using hash-tables... (although I don't use that method :p)

About the pack, well I don't see much originality, yet there definitely is creativity. However, to me it seems lacking. Also, it's very crowded. Check the Simple Spell Pack on the first page of the Spells section to see a neatly done test map.

Also I see you're using like several exactly alike dummies for different spells, simply use ONE shared dummy :p

There is no in-game screenshot or documentation on how to import...

And well, what all already said about MUIness applies.

Yet, amazing job! Yet try working on more impressive ideas. I'm not saying complex - the simpler the nicer - but something that makes the user go like: WOW!

I like your spell pack (5/5) and even use some of this spell to my map but I found something wrong to. Troll Trapper Dummy alway use rank 1 of spell Fire Trap (Dummy) even if hero have Rank 3 of abillity Fire Trap its making 15 dmg per second.
