Something like this:

• Nova
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to dummy ability with no target ( like battle cry )
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add dot spell (a single target spell that deals damage over time(dot)) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of dot spell for (Last created unit) to (Level of dummy abilityg for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked Unit)

-It has much leaks but since you seem a newb, you can ignore that until you can make your spell work
-My dummy units have negative regen so they get removed

Or you can make it like this:
This trigger adds circular special effect.

• Nova
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your Ability>
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 <ModelDummy> for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint1 facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a <DummyDuration> second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint1 offset by <AOE> towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 36.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To TempPoint2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
    • -------- Damage Area --------
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within <AOE> of TempPoint1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Not equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 300.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Unknown
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

Hey thanks all it worked but it doesn't have a especial effect like poison nova (that poison moves in a circle and hits you) how i can do the especial effect?

-My dummy units have negative regen so they get removed

how is that anywhere near the concept of a nova? All ur trigger does is damage all units within a certain AoE
