Invisible Buff Effect not working + Purity of Ice Misophonia

The Invisible Buff Effect is currently not fully working on the Purity of Ice (Guiding Palm of the Eye). It is removing a small effect on the ground beneath the player model, but not the far more noticeable effect swirling around the character. Is this intended? I hope not.
Furthermore I am REALLY not a fan of the sound made by Purity of Ice. The constant static as well as a faint repeating of sounds in the human vocal range every one or two seconds with the same "melody" over and over again. Turning the Sound Effects Volume down sadly turns down every other effect as well, so it's either all or nothing. Very sad to rid myself of that soundscape, but this noise is driving me nuts! I really hope I am not alone with this...
