I'd also like it so the unit gets a behavior applied to it as well at the point of taking damage. don't know where to start with this one

let your ability apply buff on caster immediately after cast. Modify this buff so it will issue order - stop when unit suffers damage (modify damage response field in this behaviour). This ability should be interruptible in this case (check the flags).

Sorry could you go into a little more detail... what exactly am I looking for under the Combat: Damage Response + tab? Also, this behavior that I am creating should be applied when prepare time is started, not when the spell is actually "cast," right?

you should search field named Handled in damage response and put there effect - issue order. In this effect choose ability-stop, unit-caster. I dont know how you set up things in your ability so you will need to figure out how to use validator - Unit Order Queue to turn on/off your behaviour by your own.

Ok i got a behavior set up with a damage response that I think should stop the ability... I just don't know how to put this behavior onto my caster unit at the beginning of the prepare phase of the spell.

I was curious about this myself so i made a map to test if i'm right. All works fine as for me. It took less than 2 mins ).

Wow awesome. Nicely done, simpler than I thought. Thanks dude.
