Got the idea from TaMeD, who wanted this spell for his map
Stores the soul of enemies that you kill, allowing you to summon them. Can store up to 6 souls, after you have 6 souls, each enemy you kill after that replaces the other souls of units you have already killed
Duration of summoned units can be changed (look at "Init" trigger)
Currently does not have any mana cost/cooldown, but that is obviously very easy to change depending on how you want to use this.
There are script functions in the trigger that tell you when the summon is cast, when a unit is set to one of the summons, when there is no unit set to the summon, and when you start to replace your summons. These can be deleted, you probably wont need them (except for probably the one that tells you when there is no unit stored for that summon).
Also, when there is no soul in a slot, and you try to summon from that slot, it will give the catser back the mana that it used to summon nothing. Just be sure to set ManaCost in the Init trig.

IcemanBo: Too long time as NeedsFix. Rejected.
15:50, 30th May 2011
Maker:
Make the unit types with which this works somehow configurable.
Use triggering unit instead of dying unit.
Store the player number into a variable and use the variable instead of repeatedly calling the function.
Not a good idea to display the (debug) messges to all players.
Change the if/then/else structure in the cast trigger.
Add some summon limit.
I recommend adding some follow through time in the object editor for the ability.
Don't use an array for the point.
This spell can bug with heroes (i think)
and spell A's hotkey clashes with the attack hotkey
one suggestion: maybe a trigger to clear those souls if the player(s) wants to
And it really isn't a learnable hero ability, but i might decide to make it have levels and be compatible with heroes, maybe with the spellbook ability?
Also that way the hotkeys wont get in the way of attack or anything.
And i will consider the locking, but there wouldnt really be any point in clearing the slots.. cause that would just not allow you to use that summoning. New units that you kill automatically replace the other summons that you already have if all your slots are full
Well if i want to do the lock thing, then i would probably have to make a lock spell for each summoning, so there would just be too many spell icons, especially if this were to be used by a hero with other abilities
i guess i could do that.
But i might still use the spellbook, just so there isnt a bunch of spells taking up space.
Also that would be easier to level them up
