KK, I'll help...
First make a dummy spell, if you want to make it like Blizzard(AOE), etc. use Flamestrike and change area, then you have to make the ability you wanto to be casted on all with 999999 range, 0 mana, 0 cooldown, 0 seconds casting time, 999999 missile speed(fireball,stormbolt...) and unit ability. Now make a unit, give it no model and give it the ability you made which will be cast on the unit and give it the "Locust" ability, IMPORTANT: CHANGE THE CAST POINT AND CAST BACKSWING OF THE UNIT TO 0. At last make a Trigger like this:

Code:

Event: A unit starts the effect of an ability.
Conditions: Ability being cast equal to (YourDummySpell)
Actions: Create 1 (UnitYouMade) at position of Casting Unit for Owner of Casting Unit.
Actions: Hide last Created unit.
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within (AOE of Ability/2) of (Target point of ability being cast/Position of Target Unit of Ability being cast)) and do order last created unit to (BaseAbilityOfTheAbilityYouWantToHaveOnTheUnits) picked unit.
[Action: Set (UnitVarableYouHaveToMake) = Last created unit.
Action: Wait (TimeTheCastedAbilityLastsForDamagingSpells).(Only needed for damaging spells over time like shadowstrike, if you dont do that you wont get exp and gold bounty.
Action: Remove Last Created unit/(UnitVariableYouMade)(Only if damaging spell over time...).

I hope you understood...
But you have to change some things for every different spell because some have specials...

no, just create an upgrade with 25 levels (or however many levels your spell is) and set the type of upgrade to "ability level bonus",set the ability it is upgrading to the dummy sleep spell, with "base value" equal to 0 and "increment value" equal to 1. then, have a trigger "unit - (hero_with_this_ability) learns a spell" and conditions "learned spell is (this_spell)" actions: "player - set upgrade to (learned skill level) for (owner of learning unit)"
then just make sure the dummy unit which casts the actual sleep spell uses the upgrade you made. then you only need 1 spell, and 1 upgrade, instead of 25 spells.
