Adding Glow to Head - Oh Boy!

Hi. I have a unit and I want to add this effect to it's head: SharedModels\Glow1_red.mdl

I use Permanent Imolation, sets the damage to zero and the targets to itself only. I add the SharedModels\Glow1_red.mdl in Art Target or Art Special and I also add a buff with the glow in it. Sure, it all works fine and the unit gets the glow in it's head, BUT the icon that comes along the permanent imolation ability is rampaging my home.

Any suggestions for a better ability to use in order to add glow to my unit?

(I have tried several other abilitys but there is always an icon along with them, and if I use a passive ability the glow does not attach. Oh petty thieves!)

Use an item ability.

"Item - Damage Bonus X" is usually a good place to start, though team-colour might not work as you expect it. Some do, some don't, as far as I'm aware.

sphere is meant for adding effects.

^But Sphere has all those annoying side effects (esp. the one where you "lose" on the of the sfx on attacking, and it becomes your "Projectile Art", regardless of what you want.)
(Also, it does this for every spell cast, too. :/...)

As a veteran Attacher (Lol...), I would highly suggest one of two abilities:
Item Armor Bonus (+1) and/or Regeneration Aura (item).

The former for most cases; it has fewer fields to edit and is generally easier to use. However, in the cases where you need Team-Color to properly show (like attaching units to mounts to make mounted cavalry units), I would suggest the latter, which can change TC normally.

And don't even think about Spiked Barricades. :P

Whenever I use Item Armor Bonus, it gets team colour provided it's attached... and Sphere WAS made for attaching effects TO the Avatar of Vengeance and the Bloodmage. Nobody else.

^Really? It never worked for me. Well, I guess that's a reason to do the first one most of the time.

--NOT EDIT--
Spirit of Vengeance? Really??... Oh yeah! Those swirling mini-orbs with trailers... Aww, that could be put to use...

I use sphere without any on-attack or on-spell problems. It also doesn't change your attack projectile either, or at least never has in my experience. It probably has to do with you not properly zeroing some fields.

Mayhaps... Although I just recently used it for it's "missile-changing" properties.

I find that Item Attack/Armour bonus always settle on "red" for team-colour, but you can force it to work by setting the unit's team-colour by the trigger action.

Ah. But if you don't want triggers, the Regen Aura item does automatically (in my experience).
