It's a really simple spell but could be quite useful and a good passive for any Hero.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Copy the 2 abilities (Thorn Armor, Thorn Slow)
- Copy the 2 buffs (Thorn Armor, Thorn Slow)
- Copy the dummy unit (Thorn Armor Dummy)
- Copy the GDD folder
- Copy the "Thorn Armor Config", "Thorn Armor" and "Remove Dummy Leak" triggers (BE SURE TO HAVE TICKED THE "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" BOX IN "FILE --> PREFERENCES").


Enhances the Hero with a thorn armor that gives a chance to damage enemies that attack him and slow their attack and movement speed by 10%. |n|n|cffffcc00Level 1|r - 10% chance to deal 25 damage. |n|cffffcc00Level 2|r - 15% chance to deal 50 damage. |n|cffffcc00Level 3|r - 20% chance to deal 75 damage.

it would be nice if you had an initialization trigger that sets base damage, damage per level, the special effect, and abilities, chance to deal damage etc..
not that it is that difficult to change these values for your spell, it is just a good standard to use.

Spell updated to version 2 as requested :
- Added Thorn Armor Config trigger to make configurables easier to change.
- Stored (Last created unit) to variable.
- Changed some variables names.

If this gets approved I will delete all my spells.

I think that this is not a good attitude. I said that this spell is simple since I'm still new to spell making.
Let the moderators decide if it should be approved or not and don't blackmail them :p

For something so simple, I'd honestly expect something with practical application for people to use to make other spells with, while it works, it just really far too simple for my tastes, While moderators may find no reason to reject it, which is fair enough I'd agree with them, I wouldn't expect anything higher than a 2/5 simply because it's roughly 5-10 minutes work, good work for a first attempt though I guess.

Anyway Suggested improvements:
- Make it levelled (kind of in the rules)
- Give the dummy the ability in the first place so you don't need to add the dummy ability, (and make that levelled too)
