[Spell] Spell levels

[nanotech]

I confused seeing some custom spells uses 3 levels and some other uses 4 levels, so generally or better offtenly, how many levels should a custom spell have (at the moment, maybe)?

It really depends on the map you're making.
In general, ultimate spells have 3 levels and have quite higher cooldown, while first 3 main spells which are used more oftenly have lower cooldown (15-5, depending on the effects of spell).

It doesn't really matter how many levels your ability have. It actually depends on what you are doing.
Standard maps have 3 normal abilities with 3 levels each + 1 ultimate ability with 1 level. Your hero has max level 10 so that way you end up eventually maxing out all your abilities.
Some other maps have for example max hero level 16 with 4 abilities where each ability (even the ultimate one) has 4 levels.
I also saw some maps where you had 5 abilities each with 5 levels, but your maximum level was 15, so you needed to consider which abilities you want to max and which you don't, etc.

Well yeah, i think you just changed my perpective.
Thanks for the way you explain it. (+1)

It also depends if you plan to have an Attribute Bonus ability. 3 3 level abilities and one ultimate plus 10 levels of Attribute bonus would add up to 20. It's up to you and the type of map you want.
