  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 5 sec. It triggers Overload.

What it does

Lightning Channel is a Nature spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 5 sec. It also casts Overload.
