Useful, original idea, and good execution. Triggers look good.
I know you have a 'how to use' here on the forum, but I suggest some documentation to go with it. Perhaps a disabled and initially on/unchecked trigger explaining what you're doing in each line.
5/5 and +rep nevertheless.

Now that's really useful... I just hope people would learn to use the search function before asking "how can we add abilities for a set amount of time?"
shouldn't TA EVENT be like this?
