Ethereal form damage bonus

[NetherHawk]

When a unit is banished ( blood mage ability ) it becomes ethereal. How do i make it take bonus damage in this form? e.g. 50% more damage from magic attacks. Is this done by adjusting gameplay constants ethereal heal bonus?

make "a unit takes damage" triggers, check if it is ethereal and cause damage source to damage the triggering unit ((damage taken) / 2) normal damage

so what is the ethereal heal bonus gameplay constant for?

I'm pretty sure Banish already amplifies damage from Spells. Just looked at it. The tooltips say exactly that but I can't find the fields to modify...

OH GOD... sorry If you have newgen make a custom item ability into unit ability (the one that reduces magic damage taken), at the mdamage reduce option hold shift and press enter/double click and enter the -50 value.Make a trigger that when a unit casts that ability, the target (who will be ethereal) will get that(-50%) ability. When he becomes normal remove the ability.

No, it's Combat - Damage Bonus Table - Ethereal.

thank you weep. NoobImbaPro... that is a possible yet long and tedious method. Why not we use gameplay constants <3 Thanks for the replies.
