Your Dummy AoE spell: I don't see anything too wrong with it yet(assuming you fixed the leaks, the spell you want to be cast is Shadow Strike based, etc.), however you should check if the dummy has enough max and initial mana to cast the spell, or have the spell cost 0 mana.

Sharp Return: Don't really need the waits. The initial 2 second delay could be in the dummy spell itself (casting time = 2s). Also instead of waiting 5s then killing the dummy, just give it a 7s (cast delay + 5 second wait) expiration timer like you did in the Dummy AoE spell - don't use waits in spells ever as a good rule for me so that they can be casted mutiple times at once. Also, I hope the dummy spell you want casted isnt the same as the spell that activates it, or else that could get into an ugly loop - do Trigger Off [this trigger] in the very beginning then Trigger On [this trigger] at the very end if it is the same...

other: Change all of your "Casting Unit" to "Triggering Unit".

I have a question.. If you copy and paste a trigger(and you already copy and pasted the abilities that you wanted) how come it doesnt work, because it doesnt work for me.
