Maelstrom Weapon is built from 5 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 5.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 107. Its base value is 20.

What it does

Maelstrom Weapon is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it applies an aura.
