Erm, it shouldn't be doing that. The only time that should happen is if you run the Reset all ability cooldowns action, or if your pause is so long it exceeds all of your cooldowns.

no.
it has a cooldown of 180 seconds , but after casting it resets automaticly.
THe trigger takes about 20seconds.
It has some lightning effects.
here it is:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mind seeking
• Actions
  • Set CasterBlue = (Casting unit)
  • Unit Group - Add (Random unit from (Units within 900.00 of (Position of CasterBlue))) to Bluegroup

  • Lightning - Create a Drain Mana lightning effect from source (Position of CasterBlue) to target (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
  • Set BlueLines[1] = (Last created lightning effect)
  • Unit - Pause CasterBlue

  • Wait 0.10 seconds
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Bluegroup and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 400.00))

Try using the event: 'Unit starts the effect of an ability'
With 'Begins casting an ability' the trigger fires when the spell is cast, but before the mana is removed and the cooldown is "started". So if you pause the unit instantly, the cooldown timer does not even start.
(As far as I know.)
