  3. Effect 3 is Trigger Spell (effect type 64). It triggers Throw Axe.
  4. Effect 4 is effect type 203, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Throw Axe.
  5. Effect 5 is effect type 164, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Fel Infusion.

What it does

Throw Axe is a spell with a 2 sec cast and an unlimited range. When cast it launches a missile. It also casts Fel Axe, Disarmed, Throw Axe (record #196959) and Throw Axe (record #196875).
