Here are the basics

Triggers

• Untitled Trigger 005
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Light
    • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is in Explode_Group) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to Explode_Group

• Untitled Trigger 006
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Explode_Group) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set u1 = (Triggering unit)
    • Set l1 = (Position of u1)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Weapons\DemolisherFireMissile\DemolisherFireMissile.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of l1) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set u2 = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (u2 is alive) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Cause u1 to damage u2, dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_l1)

The exploding unit damages all units within 300 radius for 100 damage. You can add filters for that.

u1 = unit variable
u2 = unit variable
l1 = point variale
Explode_Group = unit group variable

You can also use the "AoE damage upon death" ability.

Are your spell leveling up with constant numbers(Level 1 - 50 damage, Level 2 - 100 damage, Level 3 - 150 damage etc) or random(Level 1 - 50 damage, Level 2 - 75 damage, level 3 175 damage)?

If it's constant, you can use a formula in the damage part of the trigger using the level of ability for triggering unit option, such as:

Deal ((50) x (Level of (Ability Name) for (Triggering unit)

This will set the numbers for the spell to deal 50 damage on level 1, but 300 on level 6. The numbers are of course easily changeable with some simple math in your head.
