This spell should cast a Stormbolt from heaven and stun every unit within range.

I tried this way:
1) Add a dummy spell for the hero, based on cluster-rockets, to indicate the area of effect.
2) Create 2 dummy units, the first is flying and scaled to 400% and the second is a simple ground unit. Both units are nontargetable (locust) and invisible.
3) The flying dummyunit gets the stormbolt spell (no manacost, no damage, no stun) and casts it on the ground dummyunit.
4) The ground dummyunit should cast warstomp to stun and damage every enemy unit within the aoe.

But somehow i can´t see the stormbolt, its way too fast. I tried to reduce the missilespeed to 300, even to 10, but it is still too fast.
It works fine if i try the spell myself, no triggerbased cast, on any other unit.

So can anyone help me or even create a similar spell which would work this way?

You´re right, it´s less messy this way, thanks :)

You may have to deal with the 'missile arc' stuff.

I just don't get why you wouldn't make a unit cast cluster rockets with storm bolt missile from the sky.
