how would you make a beam rifle spell? im using a modified shockwave that has the projectile art purge but it doesnt really look like a beam weapon. is there a way to make it look more like a beam?
also preferably without the use of jass scripting for this spell?

Get some custom art to use as your missile, there are some cool laser looking ones around that you can download

Or you could change the missile art to one of the following:

Phoenix fire, ziggurat, nerubian tower, ... a few more I can't think of.

If you look at them in the preview window it's just kind of a swirling sphere, but when it moves it leaves a streak behind it.

Orb of annihilation (from the destroyer) art leaves a nice purple trail and looks just like a beam if you move it fast enough. Used it for a laser gun in FOTD and the only gripe is that sometimes the head appears over the ground and sometimes it doesn't.

You could use Finger of Death, set the art duration to whatever you want, and use whatever lightning effect flips your fancy.
