How it works

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 3. Its base value is 7863 per tick. It ticks every 2 sec.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Iron Roots Summon Trigger.

What it does

Iron Roots is a Nature spell with an instant cast, an unlimited range and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura and applies an aura every 2 sec. The client files the whole spell under the rooted mechanic. It also casts Iron Roots Summon Trigger.
