[Spell] My spell doesn't go on cooldown

[Subwoofy]

Hey there,

I've been trying to create a simple single-target damage spell with Channel and triggers to get a feel for how it works. However, for some inexplicable reason whenever I cast my spell in-game it just refuses to go on cooldown. I've tried basing my spell off of another random spell (I used Charm), but that refused to go on cooldown too. I've tested Charm itself to see if that goes on cooldown and sure enough, it does.

Here's the Channel version of the spell in the Ability Editor:

And here are the triggers for the spell:

Thanks very much for taking the time to read my post.

Wow, you're a legend! Thanks so much. I can't believe it was that simple haha. Kind of weird how that interrupts the ability from going on cooldown though, I suppose it happens because I'm telling it to stop when it's effect happens so the cooldown part never gets triggered?

Anyhow, thanks for solving this for me!

Casting the spell is just an order; you're overwriting the order to cast before it can execute and replacing it with a "stop".
