- Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 47. Its base value is 10.
- Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 87.
- Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 4.
What it does
Blade Dance is a spell with an instant cast, a range of 100 yards and effects that last 10 sec. When cast it applies an aura.
