  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 60 yards.

What it does

Leeching Swarm is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 1 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 4.6391) in a 60 yard radius and applies an aura in a 60 yard radius.
