Plasma Dome 1.01

Hello everybody !

I was training with the lightning effects when I decided to improve the test-spell to make a real spell, so here it is: Plasma Dome

(The spell doesn't really look like a dome, but I wasn't having any name idea except "Green orb", which wasn't that great )

Features:
-Eye-candy
-GUI
-Highly customizable
-Lagless
-Leakless (?)

I tried to translate the events/conditions/actions to english but it couldn't be equal to the english version in the english editor.

well, i didn't give a real look at the triggers, so i'll tell you a quick review about the effects:
the lightning effects are here for nothing, they give a weird green look to the spell, maybe adding some functionality to those rays will be better :)
Wisp Explosion does not really fit the spell, or even the spell name :/
the acid bombs effect on unit is good :)

@Jad: The lightnings have only a graphical purpose (and a training one), but I think that they add a style, showing how the big orb drain the energy from the small ones getting bigger and bigger and at the same time attracting them to it.

I think that replacing the wisp explosion with the Nature's nova would be better but I didn't find it.
