They are separate buffs. After glow is like an instant cast AoE buff that lasts 30 seconds. Kinda like warcry but activated by a WS. Once you get it you don't need to stay in range or anything so it shouldn't effect true sphere effects in any way.

For people talking about the precedent these trials set you are looking at them in the wrong way. They set the precedent for extremely long soul crushing grinds to be truly optional. For instance the upgrade to nyzul gear could be reasonable all the way up to the last stage which could require something crazy like 200k tokens or defeating some random pop NM 300 times but the effect would be a blinking light in the middle of your askar helm and a 1% boost to the set bonus over the previous stages effects which are +15% crit damage and 10 str.

SE is clearly intent on making these unholy grinds (/point VW) so wouldn't you rather them be optional like stage 2 trials instead of being something you feel obligated to pursue?
