  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Lightning.

What it does

Lightning is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and an effect that lasts until cancelled. When cast it applies an aura. It also casts Lightning (record #18980).
