  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 23. It ticks every 3 sec, 201600 times over the full 168 hr. It triggers Surge.

What it does

Surge is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 168 hr. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 3 sec. It also casts Surge (record #382541), Surge (record #389466) and Overload.
