The spells are nice in general, I liked the fact that anyone can slide on ice not only the tauren.

And the crystal blizzard as you mentioned is inspired from one pf Prodactyl's spells but the problem is that they act in a very similiar way.You should have made more changes there.
Looks good.
Whoohoo, nice spells.. :D

The only thing I dislike is that the terrain aren't the same after the spell, but that is kinda impossible without Jass.

I really like your way of using custom values for multi instance ability, I was doing that myself before I learned Jass :D .
Here is another pack of 8 spells

Crystal Tauren - A mighty ice warrior that can control the environment around him to make ice. Adapt at causing mass confusion among enemies.

Spells: All of his spell revolve around making ice that any ground unit can slip on if they take an action while on the ice.
Crystal Field - (Like war stomp) Slams the ground forming a large ice field around the tauren.
Crystal Shot - (Like Shockwave) Sends out a large crystal that damages and slows enemy units in a line. Also freezes the ground in a line.
Crytal Defense - Protects the tauren by raising armor and hit point regeneration when attacked, also prevents units from slipping on ice.
Crystal Blizzard - Calls down crystal shards that damage in and area and freeze the ground.
(Thanks to Pyrodactyl for the base of this spell, i really liked how he made the plague clouds fall in is arcane spell pack map http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Spells&ID=1065 so i used the idea, ty again for the idea)

Shadowlord - A Dark and powerful hero that can control shadows of other units. He uses powerful shadow magic to cause fear among enemy units.

Spells: Most of his spells revolve around summoning shadows or harming another through their shadows.
Shadow Gaze - Deals damage to an area of units. If a unit is facing a general direction so that they are looking at the shadowlord and he is looking back, they take extra damage and are stunned.
Displace Shadow - Summons your shadow to attack for you. He has three special abilities.
- Shadowless - if used on a unit that had been shadow bashed they will take damage
- Weaken Shadow - passive skill that give the shadowlord an extra % to shadow bash a unit.
- Shadow stalk - almost like wind walk except when he breaks invisibility he reduces they target's armor along with dealing extra damage.
Shadow Bash - A passive skill that knocks back a unit's shadow. The unit will take damage every second until the shadow is able to return to them.
Shadow Gate - (The Picture) Opens a dark gate the pulls units in. If the unit dies while in the gate a shadow of its former self will be under the control of the shadowlord.


One big problem with the Crystal Tauren is that he changes the terrain around him to ice and then back to some what normal(may alter the terrain a little bit), so if you have a "icecrown" terrain set you will run in to problems.
