Stupid Question, must be asked!

I was creating a new ability called Lightning Ward.

Basically I made this summoned non moveable ward looking hero with a forked lightning ability set at level 1 with a .35 second delay. It gives off the effect that this little ward is just electrocuting stuff fast . :D

Problem is, I don't want the player using the ward to worry about casting the ability, I just want him/her to see a ward spouting off bolts of lightning. I thought, no problem. Made a trigger

E: A unit (begins casting an ability)
C:(Ability being cast) is equal to Lightning Ward
A: Change Ownership of (summoned unit) to Player 2(blue) and Change color.

But nothing happens..... Is my sequence of events wrong? I'm stumped :(

Eh??? Those triggers are useless unless you want to give the ward to player 2.....I guess you could try and make it auto-cast, thats all I could think of. Or make the ward a building and have it's attack model lightning or something of the sort...

Event - every .35 seconds
Conditions - none
Actions:
Pick every unit of type (shock ward) and do:
order picked unit to (orc farseer lightning thing) random unit in unit group
Unit group = units within range matching condition
Units within X of picked unit matching unit is an enemy of owner of picked unit

Player 2 is just for testing, for now player 2 is a computer controlled ally, and for some reason changing the attack missle to farseer lightning won't work.
