Spell Request not JASS for God's sake

As the title says, please, don't make it JASS because I'm a denial in JASS...

Hero channels a spell in target AoE (e.g.350) to drain mana of all enemies in that area slowing them and increasing his mana regeneration.

I want to see the link to the units as the Blood Mage's siphon mana does in each enemy, showing that he's draining their mana.

Code:
Level 1 - Drains 10 per secs during 5 secs, slows 10% attack speed, 5% movespeed (at the same time the mana is being drained) lasts 15 secs. 50 % mana regeneration. Lasts 10 seconds (for slow and mana reg)
Level 2 - Drains 20 per secs during 5 secs, slows 14% attack speed, 8% movespeed (at the same time the mana is being drained) lasts 15 secs. 100 % mana regeneration. Lasts 10 seconds (for slow and mana reg)
Level 3 - Drains 30 per secs during 5 secs, slows 18% attack speed, 11% movespeed (at the same time the mana is being drained) lasts 15 secs. 150 % mana regeneration. Lasts 10 seconds (for slow and mana reg)
Level 4 - Drains 40 per secs during 5 secs, slows 22% attack speed, 14% movespeed (at the same time the mana is being drained) lasts 15 secs. 200 % mana regeneration. Lasts 10 seconds (for slow and mana reg)
EDIT: I meant The slow durantion and the increased mana regeneration will be started as soon as the cast is being channelled.

Siphon mana would not work well, since it would still be "in progress" even after the unit is in range of the target location. You'd have to add your dummy unit with Siphon Mana to a unit group, checking if its target is in range very often... if it ain't, order that unit to stop... could be computer hungry when there are many units.

You could also create lightnings with periodic events, removing them and putting them back on a new position every, say, 0.03 seconds. That way, it will look as though the lightning is following the two units. (since Flame Strike is no channeled spell, the caster can move, too. You'd need periodic events to move your dummies, anyways. And there would be more than one of them.) You can remove mana with GUI actions, no need for a Siphon Mana ability to do such stuff.

By the way, why not try and make it yourself? Just try it and show us what you've got if it doesn't work. You can't "demand" that someone else makes that trigger for you. It's not very respectful. What you can do, however, is ask us why your trigger doesn't work or how it could be more complete. You could also ask for hints or tips, too. u_u

Edit : About the slow, um... for movespeed, you can just use [ljass]SetUnitMoveSpeed()[/ljass] or whatever it looks like in GUI. For the attack speed, I'd add a reverse-endurance aura, removing it with the periodic events when necessary.

First of all, thanks for your ideas, they were helpful.
And the thread is titled "Spell Request", for those who want to show me how to begin this trigger... Anyway, I'm trying to do so. In awhile, I'll finish and post it here... I'm not being rude, I know you're expressing your point of view. :)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
