Unfixable error with normal spell

I make Azeroth Wars: Legacy Reborn, and there's been this corrupted thing it seems with Kargath's spell, Blast of Fire. At level 1 its hotkey functions as Q, as it should, but at say level 2 it reverts to its default hotkey, F. It being set to F is nowhere to be found in the object data.

I was wondering if this is fixable, or if the spell is just corrupted? I've had an unfixable issue before in the past that was only fixed by redoing the whole thing from scratch, though it was unrelated to this.

Check if any spell the same hero has shares the same order id. If they share the same order Id and one of them functions for the "F" hotkey, it's normal to happen. If your spell is based off Channel, simply change the Order Id.
All the spells in the map use a QWER hotkey format, and it is not a channel spell. Thank you though.

That's not exactly what he said.
By Channel he is literally talking about the ability called "Channel" - it's basically a blank spell that can be used for trigger-based spells. If you have multiple abilities based on Channel, you can change their Order IDs to other things (and you should) - otherwise, if you have based the custom abilities on other things, you need to make sure they're all based on different abilities or their order IDs overlap can cause the spells to cast wrong.

However, this technically shouldn't affect the Hotkey so...

Try copy-pasting the ability and delete the old one and add the new one to the hero (and adjust any triggers or whatever to the new spell) and see if this rectifies the problem.
