  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 3. It triggers Obsidian Beam.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. It triggers Obsidian Beam.

What it does

Obsidian Beam is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 7 sec. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Obsidian Beam (record #453213) and Obsidian Beam (record #453275).
