I don't think it's possible... But I'm a n00b.
Can you tell what's the buff you need in two different forms?
(you could create a dummy buff, and make the second effect using triggers)

What is the buff? Like Inner Fire? Or an aura?
Just make 2 different abilities bases in Innere Fire. Then u just change the Order String so that they do not have the same. Then they'll stack. Same thing with both auras and spells...

its Shadow Strike, i tried that but it didnt worked, i mean i can have 2 abilitys based on the same spell if i change the order string, but when i cast them both on an enemy only 1 buff affects the enemy.

Auras stack, abilities doesn't regardless of order string

there r plenty of spells that could simulate a shadow strike tho... jus pick any one that slows a target (eg slow)... den add damage and timed damage using a trigger... the numbers (if u want them) can also be displayed using a trigger... numbers might give u a problem tho of not disappearing (it took me ages to fix up that one myself.. that was b4 i stumbled onto this cool webby)... sry i'm not at my home com now... maybe when i reach home i can post up my code??? or some else could help post one...

u can change the colour, damage, timing of each interval damage accordingly... for the slow rate n timing, change it at the slow spell itself.. hope this helps... let me noe if got any other problems?

You're rigth. abilities do not stack, sry.
Also, that trigger should work fine.
