@LordHatchet95 this is the rework utilizing some of the key resources in Spell Section, allowing for multiple paladins without issue.

This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
RPG Paladin Spellpack
IMPORT GUIDE :
1. Enable "Tick the Automatically create unknown variables ..." located at File>Preference>General
2. Import GUI Spell System, Damage Engine (use link for Reforged), and Stun Snippet along with its requirements to your map
3. Copy Bastion buff, 5 abilities in the test map, and RPG Paladin unit from the Object Editor to your map in the exact order.
4. Copy the RPGPaladin Folder in the Trigger Editor
5. Configure each Config trigger according to the comments provided, especially the abilities must match with the object editor abilities
NOTE: Despite being a Spell Pack, you can independently pick an ability folder if you are only interested in some of the abilities. Regarding step 2, here are the required import for each ability:
1. Holy Light: GUI Spell System
2. Smite: GUI Spell System, Stun Snippet + Requirements
3. Divine Infusion: Damage Engine
4. Bastion: GUI Spell System
If you don't use that ability, you do not need to import their requirements. This is important especially for Smite due to Stun Snippet (as of this writing) ridiculous requirements if Timed Special Effect is not used anywhere else on your map.

Forgot to ask... what version of Warcraft 3 were you using? because... For some reason unknown to even N'zoth, I can't even test the map because "It's not available, or its damaged"
I can open and edit the map, though, but still...

Patch 1.31, far below current Reforged (last Classic patch). I suspect it is because I modified Damage Engine to be compatible with this patch (it is a minor edit, but it overrides a Reforged only native). I'll wrap a Reforged variation of this map tomorrow or so.
Alternatively, you can save the map in Reforged (make sure Jasshelper is enabler first), then when the error show, it will highlight a Blz function. You need to go to Damage Engine folder, find this function, delete this Blz line (total of 3 lines until the endfunction 2 lines below) from Damage Engine and then resave the map.

Congrats!

Moved to Awating update as requested by the resource owner.
Short explanation: Clash of a dependency's different versions when imported with other resources of the same owner.

Holy light is allowed to cast on enemy units that aren't undead, and it deals no damage, despite the effect appearing. If I understood it well, you want it to be cast on allies or enemy undead units, correct? If so, this looks an unintentional bug.
Besides, the spell's behavior acts with a delay of 1sec after the channeling ends, is this intentional?
Smite is also very similar, just with a delay of 0.6sec.
I don't remember if these things were present or not before, they're not major issues, but I wanted to clear things out before approving again.

These are intentional, the delay is part of the spell and I recall the tooltip do mention them. In regards to Holy Light, unless I use Holy Light as base spell, I cannot find a combination of target allowed that can be restricted to Allied Living + Undead Enemies

They indeed mention the cast time, Holy Light as an example is 2sec. However, there's the additional delay after that, which in this case is the Spell__Time variable. That's what confused me.
In that case, you should make a cancel trigger. It looks like "Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability" combined with a 0sec wait, then reseting ability's cooldown and unit mana, should do it. This is basically the only case where a wait should be allowed.

Glad somebody noticed the Spell__Time shenanigans. It has been quite a pain whenever I use this particular system. I'll make some adjustment.
I don't think the wait is truly necessary, but I might be misremembering. Well, if it is needed, glad I received the permission.
I'll put this into my logs. Probably sometime later this week if not next week.

I confirmed, it's not needed. I assumed it was because there's always some sort of trick for other special cases

I think that's the disable autocast trick. Kind of something I remember from looking at TheSpoon's codes and Slalom Wars development codes.I confirmed, it's not needed. I assumed it was because there's always some sort of trick for other special cases

Version 1.1 released
Channel and Spell System being weird when trying to make a cancel ability, so I had to make some weird workarounds. Regardless, the issue is resolved. There's a flicker of mana reduction when the spell fails, but I think it is negligible since it is so fast it barely registers.

A spellpack related to the "good side of the force", normally effective against undead units. Works properly.

In a future I could upload the polar opposite (the dark side of the force), which instead of using holy light or blessings, it dedicates to weaponize corpses and throw curses... In fact I have a "draft" of a necromancer done, though its very basic...
In order to do it better than the mentioned draft, I'll have to learn how to better make spell packs c': though that upload will happen in a very very VERY distant future ooooo
(mainly due to irl stuff)
