Light Shield spell critics

Ok guys, remember my Light Shield spell? If you don't, I remind you that it was rejected because, apparently, although working well, I was not using any Damage Detection system, thus not following any standards.
However, those who know me well, know I am persistent (sometimes) and so I decided not to forget that case and decided to remake the spell using ABuff and ADamage. The code is fairly simple, I intend to place it on the spell pack with the other spells.

Expand JASS:

I am open to critics, if you have any suggestions, go ahead and shoot them.
There is also the stand alone version that only uses TimerUtils and Table, for those who are interested.
I also attached a map for those of you who are curious.

Maybe you should replace the 'buff' model to that used for the ability of the item Staff of Sanctuary. The current model is blue; my suggestion is yellow and bright. Looks more Holy Lightish.

edit: nm i opened the map and saw that the effect is not as in the picture.

Correct, the picture is outdated, I will fix that soon, thx for bringing it up.

If you have more suggestions go ahead =)

EDIT EDIT EDIT

Ok main thread updated, now the images are correct =)
Also, added +rep for fx, for being the first person with a suggestion. You can be the next! =P

Update 1.7, the spell was heavily improved and changed. Now it is more spicy ! =P

Due to the downside time of the website, I will wait until today's night (GMT) 00:00 and will only release the map for a submission tomorrow. I am still open for suggestions =P

I'd replace the deflection special effect with that for casting Essence of Blight: the yellow dome thing. It is discernible and it looks like a shield.

I don't seem to know what it is, can you please give me the path?

Thx for the path, I tested it with the spell but I think it makes it to spammy. I won't use it, thx for the suggestion anyway =P
