First thing to do is to remove the AVAILABILITY block, I guess you copied it from a DotP2012 implementation where the ability was on the equipment, but here you are granting it, and the creature has no parent.

I also noticed that the TOKEN_REGISTRATIONs have different IDs from my tokens, but you are using my mana token functions, so either you changed their IDs on purpose, or you need to use the correct ones.

I hope I haven't missed anything else, but it's hard to read that code without returns...
