5 minutes before I uploaded it worked 100% and could be spammed 1000 times
must have been some recent change
wait a sec
edit:
wtf
I changed cooldown back to 0 for testing reason and it works fine
I changed to 25 again and it bugged
edit2:
bug is caused by
"set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" in the "Reset Cooldown" trigger
it destroys the new groups for the spheres :/
will be fixed in 2 mins

Looks wierd when the missiles suddenly disappear. Maybe adding matching effects would fit well ... for the rest I like it. Reminds me to my (already deleted) spell "Nightmare Missile" ... 
The automatical cooldown reset trigger sux btw :/
I tested if it's MUI and I'm doubting it. I suggest you check it again. I won't vote for now.

1. Because it disables the tester to check whether it is MUI/MPI or not. Refreshing per ESC or alike is way much better for testing maps.
2. I ordered 2 units to cast the spell instantly after each other. The second cast had no graphics so far I remember.

1. How does it disable the tester to check whether it is MUI/MPI or not?
2. how did you do that? heros are selected separately so there is no way you can cast it twice "instantly"
but I made a trigger like that:
-
Untitled Trigger 001
-
Events
-
Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
-
-
Conditions
-
Actions
-
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type XAOS_WIZARD) and do (Actions)
-
Loop - Actions
-
Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Wisp - Detonate (Center of (Playable map area))
-
-
-
-
and this looks like it is supposed to be
so I don't think that anything is wrong with it
Attachments
however i didnt check the code bit by bit... but coding seems fine for a GUI spell

Epic spell
Personally i would like it more if the missile moves a determined distance, instead the distance between caster and targeted point because it happens always to me that I click on a place directly in front of the caster and so can´t use the full strength of the spell xDD
But thats easy to change so it doesn´t matter.
5/5 from me
Offtopic: I think I got the 2D-Array thing you told me

modify the speed variable
-------- Speed --------
Set Vortex_Speed[(Vortex_Max x 3)] = 25.00
higher value = faster
higher value = faster
