  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 1 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec.

What it does

Annihilation is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 0.5 sec. It stacks up to 100 times.
