  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -50. It applies the snared mechanic.

What it does

Chaos Wave is a Physical, Holy, Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it deals Physical, Holy, Fire, Nature, Frost, Shadow and Arcane damage in a 6 yard radius and applies an aura with the snared mechanic. It stacks up to 2 times.
