This is the original tooltip.

In my tooltip, I tried to write my tooltip but it does not have enough space, is there a hack or whatsoever that can extend the limit?

Or maybe someone could shorten the lines.

Code:
Ability Type: Unit Dash & Line Damage
Targets: Enemy Units
Range: 550/600/650/700/750

Shalis quickly slides from one point to another dealing damage to every unit caught in her path in a line. She turns into a hald shadow and enters the void so that she can ignore most of the pathing and terrain that would obstruct her. Shalis had practised this skill for 2 years and had perfected this after Illidan gave him a insight which changed her forever.

Level 1: 500 distance, initial damage of 81 and deal extra damage based on 20% of Shalis's agility.
Level 2: 550 distance, initial damage of 94 and deal extra damage based on 30% of Shalis's agility.
Level 3: 600 distance, initial damage of 125 and deal extra damage based on 40% of Shalis's agility.
Level 4: 650 distance, initial damage of 174 and deal extra damage based on 50% of Shalis's agility.
Level 5: 700 distance, initial damage of 241 and deal extra damage based on 60% of Shalis's agility.

Manacost: 70/75/80/95/110
Cooldown: 11/8/7/6/4

This is my tooltip which just got the colour codes removed.

What do you mean it has not enough space?

Age of Myths has tooltips that stretch to the top of the screen, so im very sure your tooltips isnt too long.

If for some reason this IS too long (looks perfectly fine for me), here is my attempt at shortening it for you.
Code:
Ability Type: Unit Dash & Line Damage
Targets: Enemy Units
Range: 550/600/650/700/750

Shalis quickly dashes to a point dealing damage to units caught in her path in a line. She turns into a [b]hald[/b] shadow, allowing her to ignore most pathing and terrain obstructions. // After 2 years of Illidan's insight, Shalis has perfected this skill. \\ (additional)

Level 1: 81 initial damage and extra damage based on 20% of Shalis's agility.
Level 2: 94 initial damage and extra damage based on 30% of Shalis's agility.
Level 3: 125 initial damage and extra damage based on 40% of Shalis's agility.
Level 4: 174 initial damage and extra damage based on 50% of Shalis's agility.
Level 5: 241 initial damage and extra damage based on 60% of Shalis's agility.

Manacost: 70/75/80/95/110

If you try inserting the spell tooltip with colour codes in the OE, you will realise that it stops at level 3 or 4, can anybody test it out for me?

Try using WE and see if posting the one with colour codes works for you, because it jams at lvl 4 for me.

Well you are using a ridiculously high number of color codes. I mean, there's like 10 individual letters there with their own individual color.

How do I shorten it or do it then? AotZ, AOM and such have uber long tooltip with the same way I design my tooltip.

Why do you need so much story line? It's an ability, not a book. If it's a book, it's an instruction manual, not a bible.

Also, colours don't make things any cooler.

Simple

File -> Export strings

Open in notepad

Find tooltip, edit it

File -> Import strings

Thats how it's done in AoM

EDIT: Just checked in AoM, even a tooltip that almost goes off top of my 1600x1200 resolution isn't hitting tooltip limit, so I don't know how you are
