  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. Its base value is 10 per tick. It ticks every 0.5 sec, 60 times over the full 30 sec (600 base in total).
  3. Effect 3 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.
  5. Effect 5 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 2.
  6. Effect 6 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 1.5.
