  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 75.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 3.

What it does

Burden of Destiny is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura.
