Ok, this may sound very stupid but I can't solve this problem: How can I make a spell based on Siphon Mana than can be casted on allies, enemies and your own units? I've tried already by setting permitted targets to Friends, Enemies and Player's units, but it still doesn't work... HELP!!!

If you're asking how to make it take away mana from allies, then I don't know, but if it's not working the way it should, then you're most likely using an old patch.
Go to Map Options, look down until you find Patch used and select Melee Game Patch (current) or something similar. This option is automatically turned to an outdated patch when the map is no longer considered melee.

Yes, that is exactly what I want to do, substract mana from allies...

And you would want to take mana away from your allies why? lol I don't think they'd be too happy.

Rui is right. Select your WE and click the "Scenario" in the menu, then go to "Map Options...", on the very bottom it says "Game Data Set" and change it to "Melee (Latest Patch)" then it should work because I just tested it myself... :cute:
