  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 30 times over the full 30 sec. It triggers Hopelessness.

What it does

Hopelessness is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 300 yards and effects that last 30 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Hopelessness (record #368660).
