Other:
I would like to point out that there were no custom models used in order to make the spell look so wow

Well, for the first it's not MUI, but MPI (Multi-Player-Instanceable) ...

Also, it's WAY too powerful, so I'd suggest reducing it's damage ALOT.
I'd suggest making it damage something like:

• Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing(100 + (50 * (Level of Holy Destruction for (Triggering unit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

And, what's this action:

• Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 2 (Blue) at Point1[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] facing (Real((Integer A))) degrees

Footman ?! Player 2 (Blue) ?! Why so specific... :S
You should create the dummy (As I suspect that "Footman" is... Should change the name too) for the owner of triggering unit

Might want to make the "912" here a configurable:

Set Group[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Units within [COLOR="Red"]912.00[/COLOR] of Point1[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))

About the MUI - I don't get it, how is it MPI not MUI

Damage - The damage is something you can adjust...

Footman Player2 - Footman/Dummy what difference does it make? Player 2 Yes because the model has a blue glow and it looks cool.

912 - that seemed to be the range the nova covers, you can adjust that too no?

Try casting the spell at the same time with two different units owned by the same player.

Also, upload the spell to this site.

Duh ... I'll have to fix it


What difference does it make ? (about where the map is uploaded) I mean... There are limits in maximum size of uploaded files here, what happens when I reach it :/

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

You delete useless ones.

 

[Romek]

> What difference does it make ?
If you're submitting a spell to this site, we'd expect you to at least upload the spell itself to the site too.
You get upgrades on your attachment space when you get 100 rep, and when you get a sig. The limits are quite high, so I doubt you'll run out anytime soon.
And if that ever does happen, we'll talk about it then. For now, you've got space, right?

Another effect-spamming, overpowered spell?

 

[BlackRose]

• How do I import the spell? Documentation?
• Set Player Number of Owner of Triggering Unit to a variable, you are calling it so many times.
• Where do I set the AoE and other things without having to search myself?
• You don't need to set Unit[id] to No Unit. It's a global.
• Those Holy Light SFX's looks like they could do damage to enemy units.
• An SFX for every degree!? WTF.... no wander my computer FPS lowered a lot when I casted it.

Look like it.

 

[Weep]

Your dummy unit (the "Footman") should not have any sight range, and should be "Can't raise, does not decay"...

 

[Avaleirra]

Looks amazing! +rep


Mind if I use it? I'll give you credit

 

[Manix]

• How do I import the spell? Documentation? Copy/Paste?
• Set Player Number of Owner of Triggering Unit to a variable, you are calling it so many times. Because if the trigger runs 2 or more times the variable would be overwritten
• Where do I set the AoE and other things without having to search myself? Least thing you can do is search yourself
• You don't need to set Unit[id] to No Unit. It's a global. Yes I do, check my loop trigger's conditions
• Those Holy Light SFX's looks like they could do damage to enemy units. Yeah?
• An SFX for every degree!? WTF.... no wander my computer FPS lowered a lot when I casted it. Get a stronger pc, dont hate the player hate the game

Look like it.

Sure you can use it, I don't require credits, althought I wont mind it

(All maps with triggered spells require a 'Read Me' with import-info)

-You don't need 360 SFX's per loop, 30-50 is enough to show a circle.
-Spells should be easy to modify without too much of the user's effort.
-This spells is really quite simple, it just has a lot of SFX to make it look amazing.

 

[Sevion]

Might I inject a piece of my opinion? This spell doesn't look good at all. As someone at the Hive said, it's no different than a yellow fade filter atm.

Screenshots serve no justice.

 

[BlackRose]

It's just a inward nova of Holy Lights followed by 8 HUGE revive SFX's every 45 degrees.

I do wander what map and who would use it.

A smart man once said "True Genius Often Lies in the Simple Things"

I'm not sayin my spell is genius or somethin I mean it doesn't have to be a freakin time machine to look good

 

[Avaleirra]

I'm using it for my map.

It doesn't have to spam a billion SFX's to either... o_o'

 

[Hatebreeder]

Actually, it isn't spamming SFX. The SFX ist just big, thats all. I mean, exchange all this into the flak cannon effect, and you won't realy notice anything.

As for me;
I like your concept, but, to be honest, these spells are everywhere... Also, it doesn't have nice algorithms, so that someone could modify it how he/she likes. It's all for personal preference.
Now to your coding method;
It is rather simple, any efficient as possible, as far as i can see, but, you could create an interface for other people - Why? I mentioned italready above.
Other than that, you're way to go.

I'd also like to advise you to try out vJASS.
