Blademaster Animations

Hey, I'm new to this board, but already i can tell you guys know just about everything that the world editor can do. So I have this map I'm making, and im giving the blademaster some spells like chain lightning and stomp where i would like to see an animation when it is cast. I tried assigning the 'stand victory' and other animations to the spells but this isn't working. Is there any way to make it look like the blademaster is casting, and lightning isn't just shooting out of his chest ?

The animation strings should be on the spell not the unit... if the unit doesn't have a matching animation then it cannot do it.
