I think current is too small?

Either way, the quality of the screencap is pretty blurry and the (I say this as an Italian) not great animation of Winx doesn't provide the strongest image for a trope I personally find very pretty.

These are two suggestions (because I had many others that, as it turns out, are too small!)

But with this thread, I mainly want someone else to find a better-lookin image than current. I basically wish there was an image like This Kirby image here but that wasn't small.

Current was selected here [1] which also has many other suggestions.

I would like to see if an upgrade of current is available. “too small” and “I don’t like the style/animation” are not very strong reasons. 1.1 looks more like gemstone-related magic to me.

Upgradify beam. It's from Winx Club S 3 E 13 One Last Fluttering Of Wings; I took a cap here [1] dunno if there are any crisper sources

It's the most obviously light and not some form of energy.

Popping up suggestions of Lux as depicted in Legends of Runeterra, since the depiction of light isn't as overwhelming and causes weird glare:

(that last one probably doesn't work super well for the dimensions, but including it because I like the rainbow-y shimmers)

[tup]5, provides enough illumination to the point it looks like light and not generic energy

I like 12.1 myself the eye glow adds to it.

[tup] to 5. The suggestions on 12 are good, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

12.1[tup]

It has more interesting framing and, I'll word it better, current/5 represents light magic as just a generic flare when, again, I think this trope can look prettier.

I'd go for 12.1 or 12.2, actually. They're just prettier to look at.

Changing my vote to either 12.1 or 12.3[tup]

It’s a lot clearer and crispier than the current and the upgrade.

12.1 is a lot clearer, the glare of the 5 is rather bothersome.

I prefer 5 because, as mentioned, it cannot be miconstrued as generic energy.

[up] I think 12.1 achieves that it looks pretty obviously like light to me due to the beams coming from it. The other two in 12 not as much.
