• Unit - Cause DarknessFallCaster to damage (Picked unit), dealing (25.00 x (Real((Level of Darkness Fall for DarknessFallCaster)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

I think that this is you problem

• Level of Darkness Fall for DarknessFallCaster

Change it to lvl of DarknesFallCaster instead of lvl of ability for unit

 

[MortAr]

Hm. Why you are using ExpirationTimer, and, the spell is instant cast or channeling?
It is recommended to use not too much SFX's, and I think it must be destroyed after its created (causing less lag)
ROFL... use hidden tags pl0x.

 

[Dvoth]

All the special effects are destroyed. And how do I use hidden tags ? One is destroy later, because it's an channeling
effect, when it's destroy it disapear. Also, it ain't a channeling spell.

Edit:
@SpEtNeZz:
Ain't working either. Well, the sfx on caster works, but then nothing happen.
