Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Nightmare Blast is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 255. Its base value is 100. Its area radius is 30 yards.

What it does

Nightmare Blast is a Shadow spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 45 sec. When cast it deals Shadow damage (base value 97.9573) with the infected mechanic in a 30 yard radius and applies an aura in a 30 yard radius. It stacks up to 10 times.
