Non-triggered Spell Contest
At last something for ppl who don't know triggers Main purpose of this contest is to have fun. Your objective is to make spells without using the trigger editor (no jass either). Example: Healing Ward, with -damage regeneration and targets set to Enemy, causing damage to units around it.
Rules:
1. You can make 1, 2 or 3 spells, no more.
2. No triggers or JASS.
3. You can use triggers to add testing functions (Increase Level, Reset Cooldown, Reset Life/Mana, Resurrect Hero, Creep Spawn), but that won't give you any additional points.
4. Your spells should be uploaded into Normal Section.
5. I will comment every spell, but voting will start after deadline. I will make this a poll or PM voting, haven't decided yet.
6. I will join this contest also, but my place won't matter much (If I win, second place receives the main prize).
7. When you upload your spells, PM me or post here link to it.
8. No modifying Orbs. Don't even touch the orbs ;]
Deadline: 1. April
Prize:
I will make a spell for winner. Spell can be JASS or triggered, just as requester wants.
Note: Prize can change during the contest
Good luck!
