Alright ... bah at this.

Dark Ritual
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        ((Casting unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your ability here>
    Actions
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Casting unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualCaster.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Kill (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualTarget.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) + 30.00)%

This should work. Haven't tested it yet. But basically ... it should do.

<Your ability here> = Create a custom ability ... that basically does absolutely nothing, add the desired tooltip, levels and mana consumption and it should be all good.

<Yah lvl1> 75 mana .. +30% mana.
<Yah lvl2> 125 mana ... +60% mana.
<Yah lvl3> 200 mana ... +90% mana.

Note: "Yah" = "Your ability here".

i thought the % was based off of the hp of the unit you cast it on

I'm sure that you should be able to set it to target not undead. Set it so it can target organic units. Anyways, Kiddo and perkeyone are just about right. It is based on the hp of the unit it's casted on.

Kiddo's code redone:

Dark Ritual
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        ((Casting unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your ability here>
    Actions
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Casting unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualCaster.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Kill (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualTarget.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) + 30.00)%

        Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Hitpoints of (Target unit of ability being cast)) * .30 + (Mana of (Casting unit)))
        Comment - Just this line right above here needed to be changed ^^

Ohh, ohh. My bad then. I misread the spell description. Thanks for the addition.
