controlling comp. Mana Shield casting

Ok, here's what I want to happen:
A boss gets attacked by a certain unit, triggers give it mana and tell it to cast mana sheild. I want the mana shield to stay on until the boss runs out of mana.

What happens:
Soon after the boss casts mana shield, the comp AI turns the spell off. I noticed it turns off when the boss casts another spell, and I think when you attack it too. Then when the boss is almost dead, it casts mana shield by itself and doesn't uncast it.

One obvious solution would be to have triggers give it a passive ability that does the same thing as mana shield. But, I don't know of any ability like that =[

Another thing I could do is change the computer's AI, something I know absolutely nothing about. Would changing the AI be easy enough for a complete newb, or is there another solution? It doesn't even have to be mana based, anything that has the same affect would be good too.
