From my knowledge, this is what i have to have:
Check the spellcaster flag in datEdit
In iscript, give an animation for spellcasting
in Firegraft, actually give the spell to that unit, and change the spell's dat.requirement...
anythin else am I missing?
How do I know if the new spellcaster unit has a energy point of 200 or 250?
None.

It should be 200 as default. And the little bar should actually tell you when it's filled and how much energy does it have.
Did you actually try this before posting? It seems correct to me.
fuck you all

Yep, that's everything. FYI, a unit can still cast spells without "spellcaster" checked. All it does is display the energy bar and makes the unit a valid target for things like Feedback.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
