Can't find a field to adjust movement speed anywhere on frost nova ability :(
Am i just stupid, or do i need to trigger it?

You are not stupid, I had this problem before, frost nova and all other cold spells use a universal % for the slow-ness, heres where to find it:

Goto the advance tab at the top, between tools and module.
Then click "Gameplay Constants".

Scroll down to near the end and look for:
"Spells-Frost Attack Speed Reuction" and
"Spells Frost movement Speed Reduction"
Those are the slow %.

Hope this helps.

PS. make sure you have Use custom gameplay constants at the top checked.

Aw, that won't work for me :/
Still a bit of a rep for that piece of trivia ^^

Is there any ability that is direct damage and also a slow buff? I can only think of thunderclap now , and its not a targeted ability :/

Well, originally this was supposed to be a direct heal with movement/attack speed bonus, but now I changed this ability to the one that heals and grants spell immunity. Only 2 lines of trigger code, and it works out even better in terms of gameplay and balance :)

For future reference, you could've used Acid Bomb.

Acid bomb is the most versitile spell in the game.
It Covers:
Move slow
Attack Slow
Instant Damage
Damage over time
Armour Reduction
Buff detection

And its extra-crap free, can be cast on all units and stun-free.

Acid bomb is the best base nuke spell and people who make DotA don't realize this because they are ignorant and choose to use storm bolt and sleep as thier base spells with .01 duration. This causes channeling interference and unnessesary sounds and/or buffs.

You cannot have acid bomb replace your buff spells though, if u use alot of acid bomb based abilities, then the buffs will replace eachover, even if the spell has a duration of 0.01 and no buff, it will replace it with a green icon and "Tooltip Missing!" as description
also acid bomb cannot be dispelled i think.

Hmmm. Will the buffs from AB replace each other, even if i create a unique buff for every single AB spell?

a buff is simply an art on the unit and an icon on the status bar, abilities decide how buffs act and what they do, so yea, the buff will get replaced by other AB based abilities (Auras are exception)
