Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Dread Shadows is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 50000 yards.

What it does

Dread Shadows is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 3 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 1.6355) with the infected mechanic in a 50000 yard radius and applies an aura in a 50000 yard radius. It stacks up to 100 times.
