Unit Won't Cast Phoenix

[the_ideal]

The unit gets the Phoenix ability and the level correctly, but doesn't cast... this is frustrating because for my spell, (much more complicated trigger) I need a dummy to cast Phoenix. Why won't it work?

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Phoenix (dummy) to Footman 0015 <gen>
    • Unit - Set level of Phoenix (dummy) for Footman 0015 <gen> to 1
    • Unit - Order Footman 0015 <gen> to Human Blood Mage - Phoenix

Important note: When I click on the ability, the footman DOES cast the spell correctly... so it's not an issue of techtree requirement or mana cost or anything.

I would love to have this problem resolved... I've been troubleshooting for probably over an hour. Thanks! +rep to anything helpful

edit: the only things I've changed in Phoenix (dummy) are:
Levels - 3
Race - Creep
Mana cost- 0

edit2: drak dragon's solution worked. Thanks!

You can use "Archmage Summon Water Elemental" instead, and just change the summoned creatures from the water elementals in levels 1 2 and 3 to Phoenix and whatever variations of that unit you want. I tried to dupe what you did, but it wouldn't work with that particular spell. Hope that helps.
