You have to write a damage system (or to find an existing one). When unit is attacked, it takes a buff from ability such a "Curse" (Undead item). Then the trigger reacts. If unit has the buff, then it was attacked "by hand", not by magic, and then you need check the Maelstrom in the inventory of attacker and use dummy cast on target.

if i say that the Maelstrom Auto Chain Ligthing have worked in an earlier version does that change anything ? I do not have systems atm.

Could auto chain lightning work without an system ?

Read upper post

as far as "working" maelstrom is concerned, using the orb of slow + chain lightning is working, though as SirNikolas said, you need to issue the attack order directly into a target unit...

so if you want to get over that, you must use a damage detection system, then even just a basic chain lightning based ability will do... but you must know how to manipulate damage detection systems in order to do this... though if you want a better lightning then, using JeffQ's system + a Damage detection system is better...
