[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7166576, member: 16814"] Let me try this a second way. The rules say a thing works unless there's an exception. So, going into combining the same spell, we first must assume that both spells work as written, and then look for any exceptions. There is an exception in this case, and that is for two spells working on the same target, only the most potent effect is applied to the target. That's the exception, nothing else changes. So, when I review the spell effect, all of those things continue to work as written on the target with the only exception that the only effect applied is the most potent. Nothing there states that you pause the effect of a spell and only continue counting it's duration while a second spell of the same name is in effect. That exception is very different from only applying the most potent effect. So, for booming blade (or any spell), both castings are checking the same triggers and resolving and ending as per their effects, but the target only ever has the most potent effect from both applied to them.
