Solved by Pharaoh_ :grin:

yeah, I know this is noobish to ask. I used to know how, but I haven't needd to in so long that I have forgotten.

How do you give somebody an ability (aura in this case) but hide the icon?

If i remember right, doesn't have to do with a spellbook :? idk..

sorry, but I couldn't find it anywheres.

+rep and thanks will be given ofc.

even if it's a noobly question

Yes, spell book it is.
Get the spell book ability, add your wanted ability, set Data - Minimum spells to 1 and use the following trigger:
  • Trigger
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (IntegerA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Disable Spell book (custom) for Player(IntegerA)
To get Player(IntegerA), when it asks you for a player input, scroll to Conversion - Convert player index to player.
Now give the Spell book ability to your unit, not the original one!
