Bright Armor:
Adds temporary armor and maximum health to a target unit (Cleric spell).

Basically, I have two dummies:
- Bright Armor dummy (adds the temporary armor)
- Bright Armor health dummy (adds the temporary maximum health)

The ability is adding the right amount of armor but it's only triggering the level 1 slot for the health dummy. (Each dummy is set to 100 levels and the trigger is able to read the 'Bright Armor dummy' levels just fine, but it cant read the levels of the 'Bright Armor health dummy').

Yeah I know why its not working, but your not gona like it. The item ability life bonus can't be used as a leveled spell. No matter what you do if you give it to a unit it will always be level one. Your options are at this point to create a different copy of the life bonus ability for every hp increase, index them in an array at the start of your trigger and point the level to the array index. Yeah with a hundred levels your better off making a new spell sucks.

The other option is to use one of the passive ability systems that exists to add hp to a unit. That will require some knowledge of jass to understand but most of it should be doable with just custom scripts. For instance Cohadar's bonus system can add any amount of hp.

Either way good luck to you.

Why can the armor item ability be used as a levelled spell then?
