| Pillar of Light | comment |
When an event of great celestial, magical or ultratech power occurs, it is often heralded by a beam of light — usually blue or white — that shoots straight up into the sky from ground zero, often evaporating whatever clouds are unfortunate enough to be in its path. Sometimes it starts out narrow and expands in diameter as it climbs. In the case of more disastrous events, the Pillar of Light is just an extension of the Pre-Explosion Glow; in other cases, it can be part of a truly cosmic Battle Aura. The rest of the time it is relatively benign, if exciting to watch. It should be noted that a Pillar of Light usually travels upwards. A Pillar of Light that comes down, more often than not, is a Kill Sat, which tends to be far less benign. See also Sphere of Destruction for the globular variant. |

Metroid Prime Trilogy: When Samus finally places all the artifacts in Metroid Prime, a beam of light shoots up from the central structure. What does it do? The player never finds out, as Meta Ridley comes along and breaks it. Presumably, it would have done what the pulse afterward does, which is teleport Samus into the Impact Crater. In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, restoring the energy to all four temples and gaining the Light Suit allows Samus to teleport between the temples by riding their Pillars of Light. You also use one to enter the final level. |

In Tokyo Afterschool Summoners, there are 23 pillars of light known as gates, each one in a different ward in Tokyo. They all connect to a different world based on a different mythology, with residents from those worlds, such as demons, angels, beast men, and other beings, being summoned into this world. | |

The ending of the combined Might and Magic IV and V, World of Xeen shows that is the first visible effect of the Unification — a pillar of light ascending high into the sky (high enough to be at least as tall as the world is long). Then light from the top of the pillar curves down to meet receivers at the edges of the world, which sends curved pillars of light up on the other side of the world, where they meet and make a pillar of light down exactly opposite to the first pillar... turning a flat world into a round one evidently requires lots of light. | |

Minas Morgul produces one of these in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, shooting a gigantic, green pillar of light into the sky moments before disgorging a horde of orcs led by the Nazgûl. The book tells us that this particular pillar is produced in response to one from Barad-dûr. The exchange is essentially Sauron (at Barad-dûr) asking "Are you ready?" and the Witch-King at Minas Morgul replying "Yes!" It causes a lot of drawers-ruining in Minas Tirith. | |

When Belldandy grants Keiichi's wish in Ah! My Goddess, a beam of light blasts from her forehead up to heaven (coincidentally blowing a hole through all the intervening floors of the building they're in at the time). Fortunately, nobody is standing in the way — the whole reason why she's able to grant the wish is that Keiichi is dorm-sitting while everyone else goes out and has fun. | |

In Wreck-It Ralph, one of these is used at the end of a round of Hero's Duty to lure and kill Cybugs like moths to a lamp, since they do not know they're in a game and would breed uncontrollably if left alive. Ralph creates an improvised one at the climax with a Mentos volcano and Diet Cola lava to kill the Cybugs that invaded Sugar Rush, which also finally kills Turbo, as he had been consumed by one and fused with it. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: During a flashback to their high school days, Heifer eats the potato that he, Rocko and Filburt were using for a potato battery experiment. When they realize that putting the lightbulb in Heifer's mouth causes it to light up, they stuff him with potato products, resulting in this trope. | |

In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Palutena's preferred method of direct attack when needed, used against the Hewdraw if Pit takes too long and later against Pit himself during her Brainwashed and Crazy boss fight, is a giant blue vertical beam.

How far off it's visible is hard to determine, however, given that Quickenings seem to take place in a nullspace where dropping meteors or hurricanes on the enemy does no damage to the surrounding environment at all. | |

GaoGaiGar: Zonders de-cored by Hell and Heaven release a vertical blastwave when destroyed, although unusually for this trope, it does appear to give off shockwaves and heat; the Goldion Hammer makes Zonders turn into light, but also sends up a shaft of glowing energy in addition to the wavy, floating beam of glowing particles. The Eraser Head missile also produces this effect, shunting 99% of the energy into space. | |

In Exalted, there is a Solar-Circle Sorcery called Total Annihilation, which results in a pillar of light that is five miles high. And a Solar Exalted's Battle Aura essentially becomes a non-destructive Pillar of Light plus other special effects when it's at full power. Ironically, it's a drawback to using maximum power, since it advertises the Solar's presence to the setting's "Shaolin death squads". | |

Super Robot Wars: Subverted in Original Generations. Wodam Ymir's final attack summons a sword made of Pure Energy to destroy his surroundings in a Sphere of Destruction preceded by a Pillar of Light. The aftermath of the explosion shows the pillar still shooting into the sky... then pans down to show that it's just his enormous energy sword being held vertically in a post-Ass-Kicking Pose. Similarly, Ganleon/Gunleon's final attack in Super Robot Wars Z ends with a "victory" pose in which the robot itself cries Manly Tears for its fallen opponent. It then roars and fires those tears into the stratosphere. |

Avatar: Avatar: The Last Airbender: In the series premiere "The Boy in the Iceberg", Prince Zuko guesses that the random Pillar of Light that suddenly appears in the South Pole signals something of great, powerful significance, like the return of the Avatar. Lampshaded by Iroh, who thinks it might just be the natural polar lights. "We've been down this road before, Prince Zuko." Way later, in the Grand Finale "Sozin's Comet, Part 4", a similar-looking one occurs when Aang takes away Ozai's bending. The Legend of Korra: The Spirit Portals, located at the north and south poles, take the form of swirling pillars of orange and blue light, respectively. In the material world, their tips split off to form the auroras, while in the Spirit World, they appear infinite. In the Grand Finale "The Last Stand", when Kuvira's spirit weapon blows up, it has so much energy that it rips open a new, green-gold spirit portal. |

These appear in the Smallville episodes "Traveler" and "Instinct" — when Jor-El restores Kara's memories and powers in the former, and when Tess Mercer and a scientist mess with a Kryptonian crystal (Maxima recognizes the Kryptonian beam and comes to Earth in search for a mate) in the latter. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In the series premiere "The Boy in the Iceberg", Prince Zuko guesses that the random Pillar of Light that suddenly appears in the South Pole signals something of great, powerful significance, like the return of the Avatar. Lampshaded by Iroh, who thinks it might just be the natural polar lights. "We've been down this road before, Prince Zuko." Way later, in the Grand Finale "Sozin's Comet, Part 4", a similar-looking one occurs when Aang takes away Ozai's bending. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has: Pillars that show the position of any treasure you have a chart for as long as you're not too close, Pillars that warp you out of the Boss Arena, and even a Pillar that shines briefly before stopping to reveal a stone with the instructions for the Command Melody on it. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword uses these as beacons, with color-coded beams showing the way to each of the main overworld areas. You can place additional ones on the map as reminders. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets you place one beacon each of six colors around the map that manifest as this. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: In the first movie, Sunset Shimmer is engulfed in set of Rings of Activation that coalesce into a Pillar of Light when she puts the Element of Magic crown on her head, marking the start of a Transformation Sequence. In the prologue of Rainbow Rocks, the very same Pillar of Light is shown to have attracted some attention. First from the Dazzlings, but also with Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart. Later in the film, the Rainbooms' collective magic, including that of the redeemed Sunset, coalesces into a rainbow pillar that forms the counterspell that defeats the Dazzlings. |

Wakfu loves this trope: Willow in episode 14, after getting Moon's hammer. Another one in episode 17, when Grougaloragran is defeated by Nox and he explodes, his wakfu soaring in the sky. This pillar could be seen all over the world. And again in episode 25, when the huge teleportation portal is activated. And when Amalia is possessed by the Tree of Life. And when Razortime's Energy Ball hits Sadlygrove. Still another one in season 2 episode 6, when Yugo and Adamaï activate the Eliacube. Rushu fusioning with his army of Shushus is the excuse for yet another one in the season 2 finale. |

Command & Conquer: The American superweapon from Command & Conquer: Generals fires one of these... which is then reflected off of the Kill Sat in orbit and back onto the battlefield, where it acts like a huge cutting laser. In the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series, the GDI's Kill Sat Ion Cannon. It fits the Pillar of Light idea a bit more; Kane himself was shown to have treated it like a beam of light from God himself. The Athena Cannon in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is essentially a giant targeting laser on treads that sends coordinates to an orbiting laser cannon. One Challenge mission in Uprising has cannons firing in sequence all over the map, limiting progress. |

In Dragon's Crown, if you take too long fighting the Arch Demon, the injured female warrior monk you met earlier will eventually manage to put the holy symbol in place on her own, causing pillars of light to continuously rain down from the heavens and deal heavy damage to the Arch Demon and his minions. However, killing the Arch Demon with divine intervention means you won't get full credit for beating the boss and you won't receive the Blue Talisman. | |

Final Fantasy: The finishing move "Blasting Zone" of Squall's Limit Break in Final Fantasy VIII involves a Pillar of Light that's visible from orbit, which is impressive since it's generated by his gunblade. An optional boss uses this as one of its attacks. Granted, it doesn't go straight up but straight through the target, but since it's named "Light Pillar", this trope still applies. The Guardian Force Eden, when summoned, turns the entire planet into a magical cannon that shoots the enemy into outer space using a continent-wide Pillar of Light. Overkill? Naaah. In Final Fantasy VII, after Sephiroth obtains the Black Materia and begins casting Meteor, the Planet's WEAPONs are awakened in an enormous column of Lifestream that shoots straight up from the Northern Crater. In the ending, the ultimate White Magic, Holy, rises from the same place in the same manner. Final Fantasy IX's ultimate Eidolon, Ark, smashes the enemy down with a magical explosion so potent that it's briefly seen from outer space as a brief pillar bursting from the ground. The opening Sequence of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates has Princess Tilika exploding into a pillar of light. Final Fantasy XII: Vaan's level one Quickening, Red Spiral, shoots a mostly blue spiral into the air, before calling down a pillar of glowing red-yellow light. How far off it's visible is hard to determine, however, given that Quickenings seem to take place in a nullspace where dropping meteors or hurricanes on the enemy does no damage to the surrounding environment at all. Final Fantasy XIV: Red Mage's Verholy produces a spiraling gout of white from beneath the target. You also do a little twirl. In addition, the Monk's Level 3 Limit Break, Final Heaven, creates a pillar-like explosion. |

When Samus finally places all the artifacts in Metroid Prime, a beam of light shoots up from the central structure. What does it do? The player never finds out, as Meta Ridley comes along and breaks it. Presumably, it would have done what the pulse afterward does, which is teleport Samus into the Impact Crater. | |

Doctor Who: The DVD edition of "Day of the Daleks" includes a version with new special effects. One of these is a narrow column of light shining upward from the Daleks' headquarters when they switch on the Time Vortex Magnetron. In "The Pyramid at the End of the World", an orange skyward beam rises from the alien pyramid as the Americans and Russian are about to bombard it. Then the beam plucks out the bomber plane from the sky and deposits it next to it, soon followed by the Russian submarine. |

They come back in Armored Core: For Answer, except they appear significantly smaller this time and there are three of them around a huge lake (although like the AC4 version, they are in Antarctica). However, the player only sees them fire in the final cutscene of the ORCA Ending, where they are used to destroy the Assault Cells that keep the human race bound to the Earth, the goal that ORCA was working towards; however, it is a Bittersweet Ending, because the player is the last surviving member of the ORCA Brigade, and millions suffocated due to pollution when the Cradles crash to earth as a consequence of the player's actions. | |

Armored Core 4 provides a classic instance of this trope with the tower-like Ehrenburg Anti-Satellite cannon. If the player fails to destroy it, it will fire a huge pillar of light into the air, destroying the GA surveillance satellite. The mission which it appears in is also (amusingly) called... "Pillar of Light". | |

The Legend of Korra: The Spirit Portals, located at the north and south poles, take the form of swirling pillars of orange and blue light, respectively. In the material world, their tips split off to form the auroras, while in the Spirit World, they appear infinite. In the Grand Finale "The Last Stand", when Kuvira's spirit weapon blows up, it has so much energy that it rips open a new, green-gold spirit portal. |

If the player fails to destroy it, it will fire a huge pillar of light into the air, destroying the GA surveillance satellite. The mission which it appears in is also (amusingly) called... "Pillar of Light". They come back in Armored Core: For Answer, except they appear significantly smaller this time and there are three of them around a huge lake (although like the AC4 version, they are in Antarctica). However, the player only sees them fire in the final cutscene of the ORCA Ending, where they are used to destroy the Assault Cells that keep the human race bound to the Earth, the goal that ORCA was working towards; however, it is a Bittersweet Ending, because the player is the last surviving member of the ORCA Brigade, and millions suffocated due to pollution when the Cradles crash to earth as a consequence of the player's actions. |

Mega Man: Mega Man X's Zero makes use of the Pillar of Light to hurt enemies and stay temporarily invincible. Two variations: a colossal, screen-wide vertical shower of beams in X6 called Rekkoha, or a more benign Pillar of Light in X8 called Tenshouha. Copy X from the Mega Man Zero games uses a big blue pillar of light to heal himself if the player's rank is high enough to warrant it (A or S). He also uses it in Mega Man Zero 3 regardless of their rank in that game. This pillar can also damage the player if they touch it. Omega, using Zero's X-era body, also uses X6's Pillar of Light's name but resemble X8's more. It makes himself invincible briefly and in Mega Man ZX, heals himself. Model OX's version, however, resembles the one Zero uses in X6 more. |

Code Lyoko: Whenever a monster or hero falls into the Digital Sea, a white Pillar of Light rises from the spot into the sky of Lyoko (with the notable exception of William in Season 4, since a dive into the Digital Sea doesn't harm him). Also occurs at the beginning of a return to the past sequence, when an expending pillar of light bursts from the holographic display in the lab. |
