Cause must come before effect.Well, taking the rule literally is a bit stronger than just 'my ruling', don't you think?So, crunch, taking the rule literally, 'trigger/damage/ends early' are ALL part of the spell effect.Of course, we want things to make sense in context. So, in context, the spell's 'effect' is a sonic bubble that sheaths the target, and that bubble has several properties: it triggers (bursts) if the target willing moves through it (or, strangely, moves with him if his movement was unwilling!), and when it bursts it is destroyed (ends early) and damages the target as the bubble bursts.Since the 'sonic bubble' is the 'spell effect', then there can only be one bubble in play (applying). Since moving through the bubble bursts it, then a bubble that doesn't exist yet cannot be burst!A bubble that doesn't exist yet cannot be burst (triggered), cannot be destroyed before it even begins to exist (ends early), or do damage by bursting (because it hasn't burst).</blockquote>
