All spells and effects are a bit wierd in BG3 because the game seems unable to NOT apply damages / status effects when you cast them.
Let's say burning for 2 turn : you will burn 3 times.
- When burning is applied
- When burning ticks for the first time (end/start turn usually)
- When burning ticks for the second time.
That's how it works too with moonbeam and cloud dagger. Damages are done when you cast the spell, then when the ennemy start his turn into the AOE. Then when you move it (moonbeam), then when the ennemy start its turn...
