When you said 5 seconds back, do you mean something like DotA's Time Lapse? If so, try this:

Spoiler

Time Lapse (A0CT)
Based on Channel.

When the skill is first learnt, create a timed trigger every 0.5 seconds, and save "Unitvar" to the cache.

The periodic trigger recovers "UnitVar" from the cache, then sets for i=1 until i>10, set "TLX(i-1)" to be "TLXi" (aka TLX1 becomes what used to be TLX2, TLX2 becomes what used to be TLX3, ..., TLX9 becomes TLX10), then do the same for "TLYi", "TLLifei" and "TLManai", then increase i by 1. After the loop, set "TLX10" as "UnitVar" X position, "TLY10" as "UnitVar"'s Y position, "TLLife10" to its CurrentLife and "TLMana10" to its CurrentMana.

Now, when Time Lapse goes into effect, the trigger recovers "TLLife1", "TLMana1" (if any of those two is lower than 1 then that value is used instead, "TLX1" and "TLY1" from the cache, now if TLLife1 is strictly bigger than 1 and the casting unit is alive, show the especial event on top of the casting unit, then set the unit's X and Y, Life and Mana to the values just retrieved, remove all negative buffs from the unit and then create a timed event to run 0.0 seconds after the spell has been cast, while saving "Unit" (Weaver) and "Mana" (Weaver's CurrentMana) to the cache.

The timed trigger set "Unit"'s CurrentMana to be equal to "Mana". <- This is done because the whole trigger happens before Time Lapse takes the mana away from the unit, so this is needed so you don't end up with the expectedmana-the mana cost of Time Lapse.

Do note that Time Lapse actually make Weaver go back in time between 4.5 and 4.99 seconds, depending on the time you first learnt Time Lapse.

Yeah it's like time lapse, but i found out the problem as soon as i posted this. XD
