You'll have to make a custom spell damage system. Instead of having the spell do damage, you'll have triggers to regulate the damage or else it is rather difficult.

problems

I don't understand what you mean?
Give spell damage?

make an example and maybe I can help you...

I believe he means he has a stat that can appear on item increasing damage dealt by spells.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

ah

you mean for example: a hero has shockwave which deals 300 damage!

and when the hero has a special item the shockwave deals 400 damage.

Is that correct?

 

[Angry_Bovine]

Something like that. And the more spell damage, the higher the damage increase. Say, 50 spell damage would add 50 more damage onto all spells cast. 100 would give 100, and so on.

Lol can u give me an example on how to create 'that system'

 

[Angry_Bovine]

Just trigger it with events based on detecting when the cast happens "Whenever a unit starts the effects of an ability," checking the correct one "Ability being cast equal to...," then doing the appropriate actions, whether its damage, using dummy casters, or anything else.

Everything I mentioned above is fundamental. If you don't know what I'm talking about, search it up yourself or go into the tutorial. There's a lot of helpful reading there.

all your spells will have to be triggered, you can use custom value for spell damage.

If I was in your position, i would make an integer/real variable for all of your heroes.

Lets say SpellHerne is for your first hero, and lets say that he gets an item that has +10 spell damage.

Make a trigger that says Set SpellHerne = (Spellherne + 10).

Then I would make triggers for each one of my hero's spells, that basically says:

example: Holy light heals 400 damage (If you have levels of spells, set them per level)

Your trigger will be

A unit starts the effect of an ability

Ability being cast equal to Holy Light

Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to (life of Target unit of ability being cast + 400 + SpellHerne).

Then you can add a floating text line here over the target unit of ability being cast to show that they got however much bonus healing done to them.

It might sound like a lot of work, but once you get every hero and spell level worked out its just a matter of plugging in numbers.

I would use an iteger array... that's not really easy but you don't have 1 mio integers...
