  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 33. Its base value is -75.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 147. Its base value is -75.

What it does

Whirling Axes is a spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 6 sec. When cast it applies an aura every 1 sec and applies an aura. It also casts Whirling Axes (record #174720).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
