>i was fooling around with the italic lines, i cant figure out how to do this:

It needs to deal damage based on the hero’s current mana, but with a max.
25% mana reserved (max damage: 75% of hero’s current mana)

Like: Hero has 1000 mana, uses ability on level 1: 750 damage, 750 mana used.

how about this:

Unit - Cause TriggerUnit to damage TargetUnit, dealing ((Mana of TriggerUnit) x 0.75) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

if you want 75% just multiply it with 0.75

I'll freehand this since I'm lazy

Deal damage = Min(0.75*Hero's max mana,Heros' current mana)
Remove the same as the damage dealt.
So if the hero has more than 75% mana it'll deal 75%,and if it has less it'll deal less.

EDIT:I seem to have misunderstood you .Go with Accname's way.

Try using Unit - A unit Starts the effects of an ability too.

how about this:

Unit - Cause TriggerUnit to damage TargetUnit, dealing ((Mana of TriggerUnit) x 0.75) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

if you want 75% just multiply it with 0.75

i see, but that wont extract 75% of the mana used.

would this work?:

Set mana of TriggerUnit to ((Mana of TriggerUnit) x 0.25 ) ?

thanks anyways

Set mana of TriggerUnit to ((Mana of TriggerUnit) x 0.25 ) ?

Yes, that would work.
