[polymorph]

you cant add a buff, your easiest bet is to have a dummy unit cast whatever ability that needs casting.

Adding a buff would do nothing but make a unit look pretty. Buffs don't have any effects besides special effects... what you're looking for is an action that casts a spell. Which doesn't exist either, so you have to use dummy units.

Creating, ordering, and removing a dummy unit:

Step 1: Create your dummy unit in the Object editor, all you need to do is give it a big mana amount, like 500 (Usually only casts one spell then gets removed, you can set it to anything but just going 999999 doesnt make a difference) Also it is good to have no shadow
Step 2: Make the trigger with your events, from starting the effect of an ability to when a unit dies
Step 3: For the actions you need a few that are mandatory

Actions
    Unit - Create 1 DummyUnit for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    Animation - Change (Last created unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 100.00% transparency
    Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    Unit - Add Shockwave to (Last created unit)
    Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave (Center of (Playable map area))

Step 4: Your unit should be created, go invisible instantly, get Shockwave and cast it. It will die in 3 seconds, so you should have NO ATTACK and have the Locust ability on the unit
