I just noticed this, and found it interesting to wonder which behavior should remain between lighting/meteor. I think some of the desync here is derived from the meteor push effect causing various issues, and on some technical level lightning will need to sync to it if they are the same.

However some hesitation is there are many times where lightning/meteor may destroy an egg, but only one where it possibly resets the timer, and it might be more interesting to allow that possibility to remain rather than eliminate it entirely. The obvious problem being the counter-intuitive change in behavior, but it will depend if meteor can be synced to lightning in reasonable time. Butterfly will follow after, presumably the enchantment should affect the phoenix rather than the egg, same as the others.

The poison one I have heard of but not seen demonstrated this way, I'm still not entirely sure I know how this happens but have a couple theories, and think it's a less niche problem as well.

I appreciate all the detail provided here, and sent you some crowns.
