-------- Don't Change --------

Set MA_Caster = (Triggering unit)

Set MA_CasterOwner = (Owner of MA_Caster)

Set MA_CasterPosition = (Position of MA_Caster)

Set MA_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)

Set MA_Damage = (50.00 + (50.00 x (Real((Level of Mystical Axe for MA_Caster)))))

Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Life of MA_Target) Less than or equal to (<=) MA_Damage

Then - Actions

Set MA_TargetPosition = (Position of MA_Target)

Unit - Cause MA_Dummy to damage MA_Target, dealing (MA_Damage x 100.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of MA_TargetPosition matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of MA_CasterOwner) Equal to (==) True) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to (==) True) and ((Matching unit) Not equal to (!=) MA_Target)))) and do (Actions)

Unit - Order MA_Dummy to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Random unit from MA_PossibleTargets)

Do nothing

The problem is:

Sometimes(most of them) it only do the damage. The dummy don't cast the spell. What's wrong?

NOTE: Ande its not a problem with dummy mana its set to 1000 and mana cost of the spell is 0

Vexorian	Storm bolt sometimes needs time to be cast. So, instead of removing MA_Dummy add a 2 seconds expiration timer to it.

the problem is unit casting time.
(animation scale)
set it to 0 to achive instant casts.

+ to remove casters is a bad idea in fact you can cast anything using 1 unit.
