question on casting time

I am wondering if there is an ability that can decrease the casting time of an ability kinda how increase attack speed thingy works.

I was gonna use upgrades to level an ability up which as it goes up in level its casting time decreases but there is not enough fields to cover all of the abilities the upgrade will affect

Could you please explain the 6 fields labeled:
  • Ability upgrade 1
  • Ability upgrade 2
  • Ability upgrade 3
  • Ability upgrade 4
  • Damage Bonus
  • Move speed bonus(i bet though this affects the hero who has this ability)

2nd post:
After looking for a minute it appears it allows you to only affect 4 abilities at each upgrade

Engineering ability can be used for the first, but work load is rediculous.

Extra upgrades done by trigger. Remember they cannot level down.

"casting time" ability field sucks, after casting the spell, you cant order the unit to do anything, if your hero has low HP, you cant escape cuz ur casting a spell.
I suggest that you use channeling abilities, set duration to 99999 and then order the unit to stop with triggers and activate the spell effect after the actual casting time is complete, that way you can also modify the casting time any way you want.

You can, can't remember if you have to give the stop order first or not. It is though impossible with group selection, I believe, for good reason.
