The only good thing about this spell is the custom model file. It's not MUI, it's leaking a region uselessly, it's leaking some locations, looks like you scrambled something up really quickly and the automation (one single order) is really lacking.

The whole thing needs re-structuring. I also advise looking at other peoples' spells and read some tutorials.

To the spell:
You broke multiple rules of the Spell Section. Spells should not use waits and also be more complex. Your spell is lacking creativity and uses a bunch of Imports which should be avoided. Also the Spell is not really MUI and can bug if last created Unit gets overwritten.

Was there a rule against that?

I think it would be better if you use triggers to command the tidal lord to
execute a bunch of actions (casting a random spell or 2), and the user
shouldn't have any control over him (You do that by giving him locust)

You have to detect the enemy units relative to the caster and he has to cast
his spells on them (smartly)

If he had 4 spells for instance, he would use them depending on the number
of enemies, the highest Current HP among the enemy units, the highest armor
and best armor type (No Armor is the weakest, and Divine is the most
powerful), etc...

If there was one footman with 120 HP, 2 armor, and medium armor, he wouldn't
use his ulti, infact he wouldn't use any of his spells! He would just attack it.

This would be sort of like an AI system for one unit, so it shouldn't be toooo hard.

Good Luck

Not Mui, leaks like a fountain.

Also, its pretty much a stampede after like a second.
