No leaks found, just a comment

JASS:

 local effect t
    set e = AddSpecialEffectTarget("Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AIma\\AImaTarget.mdl", cast, "chest")
    call DestroyEffect(e)
set e=null

//Could be replaced with :
call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffectTarget("Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AIma\\AImaTarget.mdl", cast, "chest"))

//And save a bunch of lines

I like the way your spell acts, but I don't like your script itself.

It's a lil dirty and that you used custom script doesn't make it easier to understand.

Spell and Idea: 5/5
Script:3/5

=>4/5

Post Scriptum:
Use this scxript instead of your Manaburntext.
This script doesn't require any timer and you can use it multiple times.

function CreateFadingTextUnit takes unit u,integer r,integer g,integer b,integer a, string text returns nothing
local texttag t=CreateTextTag()
call SetTextTagPosUnit(t,u,0)
call SetTextTagVisibility(t,true)
call SetTextTagColor(t, r,g,b,a)
call SetTextTagVelocity(t,0,0.022) //Speed
call SetTextTagText(t,text,0.023) //Text and Size
call SetTextTagFadepoint(t,1) //Duration Before Fading
call SetTextTagLifespan(t,2) //Total Duration
call SetTextTagPermanent(t,false)
set t=null
endfunction

Inside the script, at the top of it search for something like this:

JASS:

constant function TeluraBeam_ManaBurned takes nothing returns real
    return 85.00//Mana burned per level
endfunction

Modify 85.00 to the value of the mana stolen/burned at the first level. Second and third level are equal with that amount doubled/tripled I think. I made this spell long time ago... So I may have forgotten about how it was coded.
