There's already an object editor whirlwind, but if you want to create one with triggering, very well then.

Just thought I should point out:
What about if a player doesn't use a blademaster? It'll probably look terribly odd & overall strange.
other than that the spell itself looks fine, can't see a reason for it to be rejected as of yet.
on a side note: 400th post (finnaly)

few points:
1. just like tank-commander said, these will only good for blademaster model, else it will look like walking with other model.
2. it's would be better if the caster is not paused.
3. about the originality, i'm sure have seen this kind of spell, probably add some spices to make it more original?
otherwise, it's a good one, gj ^^

Tank-Commander, I think that this spell is meant to be for Blademaster or those with a spin animation.
Here's one suggestion.
You should calculate the damage in two variables instead of 4. Because you dont need to have Real[5] x blablabla. You can just calculate that in one trigger. This makes the spell a little more flexible but you can't see any difference with an human eye.
The spell have a like 0.05% chance to cause a lag on meaby 0.5 milleseconds if you dont change that and other stuffs that takes process usage at the same time as the spell is thrown. But still it's not neccesary. No big deal but you should have that in mind when you create new spells.

It's not Multi Unit... If someone uses this move while another player is using it, the first player to use it just sits there spinning...
