Logic has little benefit, but its harm is severe.
وَضَرَرُهُ and its harm
'and its harm,' with 'its' for logic — the subject of the second nested statement, joined by 'and.' Its predicate, 'severe,' follows. The balance: little benefit, but great harm.
وَيَتَحَقَّقُ ضَرَرٌ حَالُ ثُمَّ يَغْشَاهُ،

ضَرَرٌ a harm
A noun left deliberately general, with no 'the' attached, which Arabic signals by the final -un buzz. That indefiniteness matters: it is 'a harm', some unspecified damage, not a known one. It stands as the subject of the verb just before it.
