  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Shadow Spines is a spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. The client files the whole spell under the bleeding mechanic. It stacks up to 99 times.
