It's intentionally obfuscated so that you accidentally put more than you need in the cart. It's the same as making sure you always have enough extra silver after purchasing the battle pass to almost buy something. This is imitated monetization strategy in live service games now.

My head canon is the blue light is the start of the chain reaction that receeds the cube's hold over the lake water. If you look at the trailing edge of the rune magic in later shots, it's the same color blue. Like that color represents an dynamic state

I've met this person at least 3 times in my life. Everytime, they had either just learned C++, Just started game dev, or have never shipped a product in their lives.
It's like a phase for devs who don't know what they don't know.

Easy: Material dissolve on the character shader with world aligned texturing, niagara system spawning fragments via rejection sampling to match the timing of the material dissolve. And then a WS point attractor.
Oh and the portal, you make that. Y'know, draw the rest of then owl

Probably the most satisfying trailer I've worked on now. I've had a lot of fun working on stuff in my career. But it's going to be tough to compete with the shader and vfx work on those last two shots.
Do you have whatever it takes?

This...."bravado" doesn't help, man. I've got a lot of respect for you and your career but shitting on other games to prop up you're own content may be great from a marketing perspective, but it's really disappointing from a dev perspective. Your phrasing is respectful, at least.
