A quick spell I made in a few hours. Uses only like 66 lines plus lots of object editor stuff. I thought it was cool 
Plus, it's not super overpowered. (It seems like it is, but imagine holding the knights in the DoT field for as long as you can with 10000000 life
It may be a bit OP against summoned units because of the purge, but I haven't tested that so any input on that is welcome.
And, I'm learning cJASS, so here's a cJASS version:
And yes, cJASS version has a lot more comments.
Screenie:
NOTE: Test is just a plain JASS version.
Comments?
Suggestions?
