I created geometry nodes to create a random line that expands. Took the video from that render, then added it as a texture which seemed pretty cool. I set the movie part to the alpha layer which gives kind of the spider web like appearance. I thought the light piercing through it looked pretty cool. I originally had a sphere but it started looking a little too much like earth with bombs dropping on both sides thus it kind of looks like an ice cube instead. The metallic sheen plus the light kind of makes it look like sun over the water, and might be useful for broken glass or breaking ice type effect.
