• Events
  • Unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • Integer - level of (passive ability) for (attacking unit) greater than or equal to 1
• Actions
  • If / then / else
    • If - conditions
      • Real - (random percentage) less than or equal to 20
    • Then - actions
      • Set TempPoint = position of attacking unit
      • Unit - create 1 dummy caster at TempPoint
      • Unit - add a 1 second expiration timer to last created unit
      • Unit - add ability - add (fan of knives dummy) to last created unit
      • Unit - order last created unit to (Night Elf Warden - Fan of Knives)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

• TempPoint is a point variable
• dummy caster is a unit based on Undead\Special\Locust, with no model (set art - model to ".mdl") and no attack
• fan of knives dummy is an ability based on fan of knives, set to a unit ability (set hero = false), with no mana cost and a cooldown greater than 1

Something like this usually works:

• Fan of Knives
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Passive Ability for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set randInt = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • randInt Less than or equal to 20
      • Then - Actions
        • Set tempLoc = (Position of (Attacking unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Player 1 (Red) at tempLoc facing 0.00 degrees
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Warden - Fan Of Knives
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tempLoc )
      • Else - Actions

"Dummy" is a dummy unit with the ability you wish to activate (whether this is quill spray, fan of knives or something completely different - doesn't matter).
The Dummy must also have the locust-ability, no model, no shadow, no food cost, no vision, no attacks, etc.

Edit: hah, only 10 minutes too late :3

tempLoc / tempPoint are point variables.
