As far as I can tell, this field in spellbooks doesn't seem to do anything, even after searching other people who had the problem. Trying to make a Hero ability with different spells in a spell book in it that will all share the same cooldown.

Is the spellbook levelable? If yes, then the shared cooldown will not work for other levels except for level 1. What you need to do in this case is create an ability based on Channel and create multiple spellbooks for it and then use a trigger to replace the spellbook whenever the Player level up the Channel ability.

Thanks, glad to know what the problem was.
Your solution is probably the best one, though the only problem is the spell's cooldown will be refreshed on level up, which is somewhat annoying.
The alternative would be to just give the spellbook a virtual cooldown by disabling/enabling it via triggers, but that hides the icon and doesn't give the player an indication of when the spell will cooldown. Annoying all around really.
