I was thinking of an idea for a map that uses spells that uses a better technique that is better than moving a civlian to a beacon that does a spell.
It works by hotkeying a dropship. Whenever you get a new spell, a unit representing the spell loads into the dropship. When you want to use a spell, you unload the unit that represents the spell you want (easier since the name of spell would be unit's name, and you'll see it). Then the spell would appear at your unit. So the trigger might be:


Trigger
Description:
Spell technique part I
Players:
¤ Player #
Conditions:
¤ Player brings unit to location (where you learn spell)
Actions:
¤ Set*switch*
¤ create (unit that represents spell) at location (where dropship is)
¤ load unit into dropship
¤ kill civlian at (where you get spell)
¤ clear switch*



Trigger
Description:
Spell technique part II
Players:
¤ Player #
Conditions:
¤ *switch from above* is cleared
¤ Player controls (unit that represents spell) at the location of dropship
Actions:
¤ set *switch*
¤ put spell here
¤ clear *switch*


I dont know if this works, but I'll test it soon.

Good job on thinking up this concept, however this is an old concep that has been used countless times and has been thought up by many people.

This is actually one of the basic spell methods along with the building units method. This is the dropship spell method.

You could consider using a gateway temperary scroll system that lets you buy spells from a shop? Or liftoff a shop in-map that scrolls through the buyable spells and uploads into the dropship? Having a demostration for the spell/skill if you choose the help option on the gateway system... Tons of different ways to spice this old system up!
