  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 226. It ticks every 5 sec, 48 times over the full 4 min.
  4. Effect 4 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its area radius is 100 yards.

What it does

Shadow Fade is a Shadow spell with a 3 sec cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 4 min. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 5 sec.
