Level 3 Catalyze Stories:  Draw 5 cards. Increase your Blue, Green, and White mana bonuses by 10 for 4 turns.

These 4 turns are turns as in the battle log, for example:

Turn 7: I use Catalyze stories, I have mana gains for turn 7
Turn 8 (opponent): I
 have mana gains for turn 8
Turn 9: My second turn with mana boost
Turn 10 (opponent): I assume I have mana gains for turn 10
Turn 11: mana gains back to normal.

If this is what is intended that fine, but then why does levels 1 and 2 of catalyze stories last for 3 turns?  It would be the same thing as "turn 4", the bonus turn is an opponents turn.

I do have screenshots but it should be easy enough to see, just trigger and wait 2 turns.

    Technically speaking, you can generate mana on your opponent’s turn if you somehow convert gems on their turn (such as Path of Discovery + Tendershoot Dryad). But, I doubt that’s the real intention.

    I'll reach out to the team for confirmation regarding the functionality of this ability.

    This is the most relevant thread on this ordeal.  I've been seeing my Third ability turn off before turn 4.  I always assumed the turn count was for the player's turns only.

    I've only truly been able to 100% see it stop only 2 turns in consecutive times in a match using Path of discovery + a token creation theme.

    Are these 4 turns counted for each extra swipe?
     Is the path of discovery procs causing the turn to count to get used?

    I'm not sure how the ability's 4 turn is suppose to work so makes it tricky to understand whats causing the confusion.

    Update:  I removed path of discovery, and its still dropping off on my (player) turn 2. (Talking the duration of mana bonus increases.)

    Hello @Tyding

    Thank you for contacting us!
    The idea of 4 turns already includes both player and opponent's turns.
    I will have my team verifying if there's any behavior inconsistency within these reported cards.

    GD Answer: "Both (Player's and AI's turn). When it counts only the player's turns, it is described as “N of your turns”."
