How it works

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 1 sec, 15 times over the full 15 sec. It triggers Leeching Swarm.

What it does

Leeching Swarm is a Nature spell with a 3 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 15 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec. It also casts Leeching Swarm (record #59431).
