Is it possible to remove a spells interface? (Like how you can't see the Ultravision upgrade)

Erhh, actually I don't believe that works either Arohk. Unless Blizzard fixed that little annoyance in a patch and I didn't notice, I believe all that your proposed method would do, would be simply repositioning the icon until the first available spot and making it appear black (or possibly that bright green thing colour meaning you're missing a texture).

Perhaps Arohk when you (presumably) tried this yourself you mistook the fact the icon was no longer in the normal spell position, say...
AAAA (Let A represent a pretaken ability position)
AXXX
XXSX
That you assumed it was no longer visible. When infact it'd moved to 0,0 then subsequently diverted until a free spot existed...
AAAA
ASXX
XXXX
So, in short, if things still haven't changed, then there is no way... unless you can find an item version of the ability which has solved the problem for you. I'd check the WE myself but it's 1:21 am here and I need sleep, good night and good luck.

Make it a dummy skill, with the learning button based off of Channel. Then, click the "visible" box of the ability off.

Depends on the ability....

Some you can see, some you can't.

Is there a way to make it visible? Like say slow aura Tornado?

With that particular skill, you could base it off of Unholy Aura or Endurance Aura instead, which both have icons.

Alternatively, you could make a dummy skill that just has an icon (there are many skills which could be appropriate) and use a trigger to give it to the unit when he gets levels in the actual skill, or vice versa.

hmm, i think i've seen this in another thread...
its like this: the most abilities which are normal or heros or so got a icon, and the item-abilities dont... :p simple, but im not 100% sure about it...

Except those item abilities which are based off of unit abilities; those still do. So there's not much to be gained there.

And except for some specific unit abilities that don't display icon, like tornado's slow aura and feral spirit's permanent invisibility.
