**Platform, device version and operating system:**  
PS5

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
TLDR: The trait triggers at the end of my turn, too.

While testing traits resolving, for this bug: [Zarg’s Boom Pile Trait Targeting Bug - Bug Reports - Gems of War | Forums](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/zarg-s-boom-pile-trait-targeting-bug/88080), I tried a team of troops with “create/conjure a X storm when my turn begins” (Seriously, why do some say create and others say conjure?), and confirmed that the traits are resolved from top to bottom.  
HOWEVER, I also saw that with bane of ambition in first place, and other troops below, it created a coloured storm at the beginning of my turn, but it creates a bonestorm at THE END of my turn. The enemy team always has a bonestorm active during their turn, with 8 turns remaining, and when my turn starts, it turns back to the coloured storm of my lowest troop.  
So, I get coloured storms, but the enemy gets bonestorms. And I checked to ensure they had no traits that could create storms (they didn’t). So it seems bugged.

I tested again with 4 troops creating coloured storms and on the enemy turn it was also the same storm as on my turn, with 7 turns remaining. So, no new storm was created, unlike with bane of ambition.  
I tested a team of only bane of ambition (2 copies, since I only have 2), and it always creates a bonestorm at the beginning and end of my turns. You can see the circle of the bottom of the screen drop off and reappear, showing a new storm has started, and the number is always 8 turns remaining.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Unclear.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Use bane of ambition. End turn.

Managed to get footage of bane of ambition only team triggering at the start and end of my turn.  
I can grab footage of a mixed storm-making team, if you need, but I don’t think it matters to the bug.
