Spell effects and animations won't play on Custom Model?

So I've imported a custom model and it works nearly perfectly-save for the fact that non projectile spell animations don't play, nor do their sounds.
Auras, buff/debuff effects, level up animation, etc. won't play on the model and despite trying for the past two days I can't figure out why. I've also already scoured here and google for anyone with this issue but I couldn't find anything

Here is a demonstration:

Does anyone know what's causing this? Did I export the model wrong or something?

It's not uploaded anywhere on hive since this is a custom model I imported myself, here is the model and its textures.

Ohhh gotcha, thanks a lot! I really appreciate ya
Is there a way to change the size of this attachment? Spell effects are there, but they are tiny and don't really fit on the model

I am not quite sure what the rules are. Assuming it respects the scale of the attachment node, here are a couple of variants with different scaling to test.
Otherwise it might be something in the object editor in WE?

Ooooh I see now, thank you again. Could you tell me how you did this? I'm very new to importing models and I have a few other models I need to import so I'm going to have to go through this again.
Looking through it in the model editor I can see how you changed the scaling, but I don't know how to add a global sequence or anything

This specifically I did by converting to MDL and writing the stuff manually, but using Magos should be fine as well.
It has a "Global Sequence Manager" window where you can right click to make a new one.
In a case like this where you want a constant scale, the duration doesn't matter since you are going to have 1 keyframe at frame 0 anyway.

If you need attachments, you create them by right clicking in the "Node Manager" window.
