Neat effect, though the blood splashes are too bold; maybe use a different blood model and create them less frequently?
I haven't reviewed the code.

it does, when it reaches the maximum array value it starts again from one, if you worry about that it could exceed an other running instance then just increase the WMax in the init trigger

that's not the best recycling, becose if you cast it without pause it will be laggy

I know it's not the best but hey, it works and now the only lagg causing thing is that I used 24 dummy per cast ~.~ 6 blade and 18 wind dummies
reduced it to 12 per cast
reduced it to 12 per cast

The triggering looks ok, but there's no need to destroy WDummyGroup. Just clear it. Your recycling could be better too, but it's ok. Btw, in the loop in your Init trigger, just do this:

In the Init trigger the Integer A loop should loop from 1 to WMax
As said the indexing is kind of meh, looping 100 times even if only one instance is on. And yes I know that you can lower that value but then the safety will be reduced too when you think about it.
It should be mentioned that the damage value is damaged to the units for 1/0.03 times every second.
Else it looks good enough to get approved I guess.

Heh I was a little lazy ~.~ My other spells counts to the max.
It's easy to calculate what number would be the best for a map.
The damage is okay, I think. Now it deals the damage constantly and it looks nice.
