This trigger i will provide is suppose to add life to the caster during the day and defense to the caster at night. The problem i'm having is that the ability will not go past level 1 stats. It will stay at 2 armor or 100 hit points even at level four. Now i have double checked to make sure the ability has the right stats and all that so it has nothing other to do than with my trigger so if anyone can help me figure out what is wrong with my trigger. I would greatly appreciate it.

I belive its because you put night as an else, I would suggest make one if then else for night and another for day for each level.

also is this passive? Because if it is you cannot use cast, as that would make it only fire once, when it is learned.

you use awrong structure of the if-then-else:

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
And - All (Conditions) are true Conditions
(Level of Sage for Sage_Unit) Equal to 1
(In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 6.00
(In-game time of day) Less than or equal to 18.00
Then - Actions
Unit - Add +100 Life (Sage-level1) to Sage_Unit
Wait 60.00 seconds
Unit - Remove +100 Life (Sage-level1) from Sage_Unit
Else - Actions
Unit - Add +2 Armor (Sage-level1) to Sage_Unit
Wait 60.00 seconds
Unit - Remove +2 Armor (Sage-level1) from Sage_Unit

there are problems with the conditions.
it checks if the ability is level 1, and it's day.
BUT the else will activate on any other levels!!!

try this:
if level == 1
if it's day
add +100 life
else
add +2 armor
else (this is not necessary)
do nothing

so use an if to check the level, then INSIDE that if, use an other if to check if it's day.
this should work.
