  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 10.

What it does

Dancing Rune Weapon is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 30 yards, a 90 sec cooldown and effects that last 12 sec. When cast it summons a creature in a 2 yard radius and applies an aura.
