  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Necrotic Breath is a Shadow spell with an instant cast, a range of 60 yards and effects that last 20 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 5) in a 10 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.
