Need a good dummy spell for my new triggered one

Ok, I am attempting to make a custom spell that will warp a hero to the back of another unit, and "backstab" it, doing massive dmg, then move the hero back to his original spot.

I'm pretty sure I can do most of this with trigger, but my question is: what would be the best spell to base it from? I read one tutorial that said object based spells could be based off of shadowstrike, but I have no idea how to get rid of the sound shadowstrike makes when its fired. I can get rid of the stats and the art, but not the sound. Is there a better spell to use for this?

ALSO, anyone know where I could find a list of good "dummy spells" for trigger enhanced spells. I'd be greatly appreciative :)

Non AoE ones are

Death Coil
Holy Light
Frost Nova
Shadow Strike
Storm Bolt

AoE ones

Dispel

I dont usually use AoE targeter in trigger spells

Channel is the best dummy spell !!

Ok I'm playing around with one using death coil as the dummy spell. How do I get rid of the target art when its used (the black swirl over the target). There is nothing listed under target art, caster art, or special and its not tagged to any buff. Any ideas?

deathcoil is not a good idea.
Better use purge or frostnova, there you can get rid of all the art

Channel is the best all-purpose dummy spell for trigger-based abilities, especially since you can change the targetting behavior, base spell ID, and most art fields.
