You want an item to damage when used?

You can either do that with specific abilities (or all abilities, but then you need to make quite some triggers).

• Events
  • Unit - A unit begins casting an ability
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true), then do (Then - Actions), else do (Else - Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Ability being cast equal to ABILITY1
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target of ability being cast), dealing <50% of ABILITY1's damage) damage of attack type Spell and damage type Normal
    • Else - Actions
  • If (All conditions are true), then do (Then - Actions), else do (Else - Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Ability being cast equal to ABILITY2
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target of ability being cast), dealing <50% of ABILITY2's damage) damage of attack type Spell and damage type Normal
    • Else - Actions
  • etc.

Or check the damage caused with a damage detecting system (can be found on THW), and only check for damage done by abilities. I just don't know if that's possible, since I've never worked with damage detecting systems before.
