Power glows. The more power, the more glow. So, anything that glows is automatically presumed to be superior to otherwise identical things that don't glow, and more glow is better. This is closely related to the Rule of Cool because glowing is cool, so things that glow automatically get more Willing Suspension of Disbelief, allowing them to be more unrealistically powerful. They're often Good Colors, Evil Colors, too. For example, evil glows bright red, good glows blue or gold, and radioactive materials glow green. Glowing Eyes of Doom? Inherently superior to ordinary, everyday, garden-variety eyes of doom. Glowing Battle Aura? Opponents who don't glow won't stand a chance! Any physical object that glows will also be powerful somehow. Glowing sword vs. boring sword? Glowing sword wins, every time. Explodey things that emit a glow first are bigger, louder and/or do more damage, and if they were Sucking-In Lines first, they're even more so. The most powerful magical potions will also glow to signify their superiority over ordinary, non-glowing magical potions. And don't forget the inherent awesomeness of the Pillar of Light, which is Glow going to Heaven just to show how overwhelming it is. Strangely enough, in real life glowing would usually indicate a wasting of energy, but it could still count as just the excess energy manifesting as light. A good example is in Mercedes Lackey's Velgarth series in which Gates and Portals only glow when energy is being used inefficiently. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Monster X's lightning powers can produce a Volcanic Veins effect merely by either of its two heads (San or Vivienne) feeling strong emotions, and there's how their powers are, well, Shock and Awe powers. It also turns out the "shed skin" version of Ni/Elder Brother that's utilizing the Many can produce this effect as part of an intimidation display, similar to Ghidorah and other Titans. | |

The fact that the protagonist of Dragon Age fanfiction Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns gets his magic from a fairly unstable tear in the Veil, which he has in his body, means, among other things, that he starts glowing white whenever he does something unusual, either just from the eyes or his whole body, up to looking like a Stargate ascended ancient. | |

X-Men: In the early years, the powers of characters like Magneto, Jean Grey and Professor-X were often depicted with wavy lines, implying that they were not visible to others characters. Now they cannot seem to use their powers without unleashing incredible amounts of glow. This has been especially true whenever Jean or her daughter Rachel Summers is channeling the Phoenix Force. In that case just performing a simple mindlink will result in actual flames flowing between them and the other person (often Cyclops or Cable). | |

Early Mega Man (Classic) games had Mega Man get Power Glows when charging the Mega Buster. Because of the way NES graphics worked, the powerups scattered around levels would exhibit the same pattern in time with his. Later games added Sucking-In Lines. Omega Zero has a white aura around him, so you know he's not to be taken lightly. This was carried over from Virus Infected Zero in X5, who was surrounded by a ominous purple aura. |

If you notice yourself being bathed in a soft, pink light in Lyrical Nanoha, that is your signal to run fast, and run far, as that soft light won't stay soft for long for it comes from the massive pink glow that precedes Nanoha's Starlight Breaker. If you find yourself in a similar situation in Dragon Ball Z, you're about to be blown up by Majin Buu. Generally speaking, soft, pink light is best avoided in Anime. |

Fire Emblem: Most of the games in the series from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem onward are strong proponents of this - whenever a unit attacks with an Infinity +1 Sword, the weapon will give off a bright split-second Audible Gleam which covers the entire screen. The exception is the Tellius duology, which, for whatever reason, doesn't do this. The mobile spin-off game Fire Emblem Heroes covers the most powerful summoned units, five-star units, in a soft golden glow. While it's visible around the units in question in combat, it's much more evident on the unit status screen, behind a full image of the character. Four-star units are also surrounded in battle and on the status screen by more subdued silver sparkles. |

In Naruto, the titular character, as well as his fellow jinchuuriki, are engulfed in a glowing aura of chakra when in their Tailed Beast forms (except Gaara, he gets covered in sand). This takes the form of the jinchuuriki's Tailed Beast after the initial stage, at which point it is often time to run away. Of course, there IS a threshold past which the aura disappears in exchange for something far worse... This is lampshaded when Naruto's controlled form of the Nine-Tails' chakra is used as a flashlight. The Fourth Raikage (A)'s Raiton: Yoroi (Lightning Armor) covers his body in lightning. |

In the 1985 film The Last Dragon, there is The Glow: when a fighter's hands glow, he is among the best in the world - when his entire body glows, he IS the best. Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, demonstrates the former towards the end of the movie, but Leroy "Bruce Leroy" Green demonstrates the latter after a beatdown. | |

Dragon Ball may not be the oldest example, but it might be the definitive one. Actually inverted in the Android saga of Dragon Ball Z. The titular androids - cyborgs more powerful even than Frieza - are shown as extreme threats, despite their lack of any glow at all. In fact, Androids 17 and 18 are for a short time the two strongest beings in the DB universe, the latter totally trouncing the very glowy, newly Super-Saiyan Vegeta. This is because the glowing Battle Aura is a product of ki energy, the source of nearly all DBZ fighters' superhuman powers. All, that is, except the Androids. The fact that their power is so different in nature was part of what made them so dangerous: all of the heroes can sense powerful ki from miles away, but one of the Androids could be standing right behind them and they wouldn't even know it. Which is exactly what happens to Yamcha. The results include a fist-shaped hole from his back to his chest. Inverted again in the Buu saga. When Gohan achieved a new level of power beyond the glowy Super-Saiyan or even the glowier and sparky Super-Saiyan 2, his hair remained black and had almost no battle aura to speak of. In Dragon Ball GT, both Goku and Baby as Great Apes have a golden, glowy aura and fur. Seeing as this is basically Super Saiyan Great Ape, it makes sense. |

Playstation All Stars Battle Royale uses this effect to distinguish "All-Star Power" (AP) both in-game and in-story, where the winner in each character ending can be seen glowing with Blue (having defeated Polygon Man, the apparent source of AP). Characters will glow slightly when able to use a Level 1 Super, become brighter at Level 2 and be almost completely illuminated when using their Level 3. | |

In The Dresden Files Harry more than once makes his staff/blasting rod glow, usually when he is about to smash something into the water table. Also his much-abused amulet, which glows whenever he uses it as a light/silver bullet against superpowered werewolves. Then we have the Swords of the Cross, all of which glow with varying intensities depending on the wielder and situation. For instance Amoracchius once shines so brightly that it chargrills much light-hating hobs from 20 feet away. Similarly, when Murphy draws Fidelacchius it glows brightly enough to scare off Deirdre. Any time Harry uses Soulfire or Hellfire. When Harry starts training Molly to use her magic she had a tendency to glow when excited. This was fixed after the first few weeks of training |

Supernatural The djinn's hands or eyes glow blue when they use their powers. Angels' eyes often glow blue when they use their powers, and their smite is bright white. If an angel is injured, sometimes we get a glimpse of their Grace, which is also bright white. Human souls glow pure white, and are used as a source of energy by angels and demons alike. One episode also involved a human using his soul to power a spell, surprising Sam and Dean, and another involved a pagan deity draining human souls to fuel his time-traveling powers. |

Subverted several times in the Discworld series. Because of the world's narrative causality, mundane items wielded with true conviction are often stronger than fancy magic weapons. Justified in the case of Death's scythe and sword, since these are so sharp, they cut up the air molecules that happen to bump against them. This, of course, causes lightning-like ionization. |

Played straight in The Elenium and its sequel The Tamuli. Several spells that the Knights and Sephrenia use create a light, but none are on par with Xanetia, whose entire body glows when she unleashes her power. Toyed on the spiritual level, as Xanetia's power comes from a curse that renders her dark and undetectable, while the magic the others are blessed with shines and rings out for others to notice. | |

World of Warcraft: Enchanters can put a glow on any weapon. Typically, the more powerful enchants glow brighter, and the type of enchantment determines the color of the glow. Burning Crusade expansion basically had "glowing stuff is awesome" as a secondary theme. Glowing locations? A lot, often places of power of various sorts. Gear glowing even when not enchanted? Starting with just high-level quests, constant in heroics and raids. Two new races? Glowing eyes for both! Blizzard one-upped themselves by enabling enchanters to apply a glow to weapons that's actually a complex graphical animation rather than a simple glow. The Mongoose enchant causes your entire weapon to crackle with lighting, while the Savagery enchant makes your weapon drip blood. Further expansions continued the trends of glowing gear in raids, glowing eyes for every race with the new Death Knight class and elaborate pattern enchantments thorough. Notable stand-outs include Shaman set pauldrons that summon ghostly mammoth heads, Rogue pauldrons that lash out with scythes of bloody shadows, Warlock helmet that makes the user sprout demonic wings and the Power Torrent enchant, which shifts through the colors of the rainbow periodically and was the best-in-slot enchant for all raiding casters through the Cataclysm. |

Most of the games in the series from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem onward are strong proponents of this - whenever a unit attacks with an Infinity +1 Sword, the weapon will give off a bright split-second Audible Gleam which covers the entire screen.

Mostly avoided in With Strings Attached and The Keys Stand Alone, but played straight when the four come across a white key—a 6-foot staff glowing with power. This turns out to be annoying, because the thing is incredibly noticeable, everyone wants it and will cheerfully kill for it, and George is unable to put it in his closet. They end up trying to mask the glow by covering the staff with cloth, but it still glows through the cloth. | |

Exalted puts this principle to good use: the more Essence you draw into your Charms over a scene (i.e. the more powerful you make your superpowered attacks), the more glow, or Anima (in the parlance of the game), you produce. It begins with your Caste mark faintly appearing on your forehead, progresses into a glowing field or effect which physically envelopes you in various waysnote (brilliant golden glows for Solars, sickly green lights for Infernals, silver tattoos lighting up across Lunars' skin, elemental environmental effects for Dragon-Blooded, spiritual auras and halos for Sidereals, bleeding necrotic Essence for Abyssals, and industrial or technoscientific effects such as electric discharges and arcs, billowing steam, and even chemical or molten metal secretions from Alchemicals' skins), and culminates in your Anima Banner unfurling in some spectacular fashion. Once those Charms get about 16+ Essence pumped through them during a fight, a couple of battling Exalted can be seen unmistakably for miles around, and can even approximate daylight visibility conditions during the night. Which might seem like a horrible disadvantage to the cause of stealth, except that an Exalted with 16+ Essence running through their Charms is more or less a Person of Mass Destruction at any rate, and not to be fucked with. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark's arc reactor in the Iron Man movies glows very blue. Very vaguely justified in that it is producing electrical energy, and that whatever reaction happens in it might give off Cherenkov radiation. As for the repulsors... the workings of a palm-sized rocket/energy weapon are anyone's guess. The Tesseract from Captain America: The First Avenger. At the start of the film, Johann Schmidt comes across the artifact buried in the tomb of a Norwegian warrior, but we know it's fake because it doesn't glow. The real one, on the other hand, is like a small star. The glow extends to Arnim Zola's Tesseract-powered weapons as well, all of which carry luminous blue power packs. |

Stormlight, the primary magic power of The Stormlight Archive, glows, as one might expect from the name. A slight subversion in that most people use the glow more than the power itself, though it can be used to run Magitek. Also, living Shardblades have slightly glowing Tron Lines on them in the colour associated with the Radiant's order. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: In third edition, magic weapons have a 30% chance of glowing with light equivalent to that of a torch. In fourth edition, if you don't want to have a bunch of (potentially handy) secondary effects, you can get a Fire, Ice, Poison, etc. enchantment. Activating the enchantment changes your next attack into the specific element type, nothing more. Except the Sunblade enchantment, which gives radiant damage and illuminates a large area around the sword itself. Great for slaying undead and certain types of abominations; NOT so great for doing so stealthily. Oddly enough, there's only a total of about five or six weapon enchantments that will mechanically give off light, although flavor text varies wildly. White slaadi, the second most powerful variety of their kind, are marked by a soft white glow that emanates from every part of their bodies. |

Stargate SG-1: The glowiness of a power source is directly proportional to how powerful it is. The most powerful, Project Arcturus, creates a giant glowy ball of pure energy.

Mass Effect's biotics have glowing energy about them when they use their biotic powers, especially when using a powerful biotic move. Samara is a really good example, especially when she fights her daughter Morinth to the death. Element Zero, though rarely seen directly, apparently has quite an energetic glow about it. This makes perfect sense when you consider that it actually constitutes exotic matter under certain conditions. |

An interesting example is in Final Fantasy VI, where Kefka is surrounded by a pyramid of magic before the final fight. In addition to showing his immense magical powers, it reflects his emotions: when he's taunting the party and laughing, it's blue, then turns purple as he laments the futility of life, green when the party members declare he's wrong, then red when he gets angry. Emotion Glows too. | |

Indiana Jones: Played straight in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with the stones of power that glow when they are together. (And get very hot, by the way) Inverted in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the actual Holy Grail is the most mundane-looking wooden cup yet the gold-colored lining of the True Grail makes it appear to glow from the inside. |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: When channeling especially powerful magic (such as to overpower Toffee's Anti-Magic prison in "Storm the Castle" and to cast magic without her wand in "My New Wand!"), Star Butterfly's eyes and heart-shaped cheek marks glow bright blue, and her entire body is surrounded by a glowing blue aura. In the latter example, she also floats about 20 feet in the air. | |

Superman: Post-Flashpoint Supergirl's body often glows when she is super-charged with solar energy or is using her solar flare attack. In Red Daughter of Krypton, her body gave off a golden glow after she took a literal sunbath. Demon Spawn: Villainous sorceress Nightflame's sword glows when she uses her powers, blasts flames or casts spells. The Supergirl from Krypton (2004): Superman and Supergirl's bodies—or at least their eyes—often glow red when they fight during this story. In Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, the chunk of Kryptonite which empowers Streaky gives off a white glow. In Bizarrogirl, Dr. Kimiyo Hoshi -alias Dr. Light- glows when she creates constructs of solid white light. In Escape from the Phantom Zone, the Tycho Eidolon machine creates a dimensional rift which gives off a blinding violet glow. Death & the Family: The seven magical heirlooms of McDougal Clan give a silver-blue glow when they are close to each other. Krypton No More, one-time villain Protector's body glows when he uses his powers and alters his molecules. Kryptonite Nevermore: A kryptonite engine gives off a frightening green glow. After recovering his powers, Superman's spirit glows. In The Great Phantom Peril, Clark Kent's alien figurine stolen by Mr. Porter gives off a bright pink glow, a hint of the powerful dimensional energies stored inside. In Last Daughter of Krypton, Supergirl's body gives off a golden glow when she heats up and releases stored sunlight. When visiting the ruins of Argo City, she uses her radiance's energy to power up a Kryptonian recording device. In The Killers of Krypton, Rogol Zaar's sentient ax gives a sinister, electrical red glow when it awakens. Supergirl (1984): The matter-transmuting device Omegahedron gives off a blinding golden glow when someone taps into its power. When Kara is taking it back home, it lights up as a star. |

In the earlier episodes of Kim Possible, Shego had clawed gloves that glowed with a green light when she fought; the glow was implied to amplify the force of her attacks. In the second season, she began displaying the ability to use the glow as a projectile attack, throwing blasts of energy, and it was retconned into a superpower called the "Go Team Glow", which she and her brothers obtained as children when they were exposed to an alien meteorite. Basically, her hands are surrounded by green energy with Kirby Dots. A fair amount of the Doomsday Devices and McGuffins in the show glow too. Ron's Monkey Power |

Kamen Rider 555 had an interesting spin on it: the five Riders' costumes are covered with "veins" through which pumps a glowing substance that powers them. In nighttime scenes, the "veins" and visors glow, and use of a Finishing Move causes a bead of energy to run from the belt (the main power source) to the Rider's foot or sword or whatever they're going to use. The same series started a trend of a Rider's eyes glowing for a bit after they're done transforming, in order to signify that the process is done. | |

The same happens in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: the full Psycoframe under the RX-0's armour glows whenever its NT-D is activated. Its colour depends on the strength of the Newtype's abilities.

The mobile spin-off game Fire Emblem Heroes covers the most powerful summoned units, five-star units, in a soft golden glow. While it's visible around the units in question in combat, it's much more evident on the unit status screen, behind a full image of the character. Four-star units are also surrounded in battle and on the status screen by more subdued silver sparkles. | |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth traditionally glows to an extent and when in use glows brighter, to the point that some artists draw it as though it is made of light when she's using it to force someone to confront the truth. Wonder Woman (1942): In Judgment In Infinity, the Adjudicator is always seen holding a glowing, multifaceted crystal ball which every so often sends "rays of polychromatic light in all directions". The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016) the items empowered by the gods all glow until Zeus strips them of their magical properties. The gods' champions' eyes glow when they're tapping into the power the gods granted them with their contracts. In Wonder Woman and the Star Riders the Star Rider gal's Star Jewels all glow, as does the cap of Ice's Magic Staff and Nightshine's horn. |

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind Downplays it. Enchanted items have a magical luminous sheen, but it's not bright enough to provide useful illumination. Oblivion also Downplays it, though in a different fashion. Enchanted items having a more subtle glow. Skyrim: Skyrim mixes the Downplayed versions from the previous installments in the series, where enchanted weapons have faintly glowing swirls and whorls like Morrowind while armor and jewelry uses the Oblivion glowy outline. The Dragonborn expansion introduces the Dragon Aspect Shout, which surrounds the user with a set of glowing, draconic armor, playing the trope straight. |

Mocked in A Song of Ice and Fire when Stannis gets Lightbringer, a literal glowing sword, but despises it because it doesn't do anything else better than most swords. It is speculated that this is because it isn't the true Lightbringer, which would probably glow, but would actually be hot as well. So Power Glows, but so does a cheap glamour. Although it's worth noting that so far none of the actually superior swords have glowed. Played straight with Melisandre's ruby. Whenever she causes weird magical stuff to happen, her ruby choker is said to glow intensely. Probably because she's the priestess of a fire god. |

One Piece: Luffy's Gear Second gives his body a bright pinkish glow. Yeah, it's high-pressure blood in his body but it's still glowing. Partially justified, because the idea of the attack is that he's heating up his leg with friction (without tearing his skin or clothes to shred). The heat then glows, like a toaster coil. Sanji's Diable Jambe (Devil's Leg) makes his foot glow a bright red. It should be noted, one of the most powerful Marines, Admiral Kizaru, literally turns into light. |

Godzilla: Godzilla's dorsal fins flash or glow (depending on the film) when he's preparing to unleash his atomic ray. In the rare event where he goes Burning Godzilla, his body is covered in a bright, orange-red molten glow. Mothra when using her God Rays. Some incarnations of King Ghidorah have this. The Heisei and Showa incarnations have light-up horns in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and Godzilla: Save the Earth. With the MonsterVerse incarnation, his three necks glow with light while charging up their Gravity Beams (think Smaug but with lightning instead of fire), and it fits with how Godzilla and Mothra also light up in various ways when charging their built-in energy weapons. There's also Mokele-Mbembe in the novelization of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), whose horn pulses with a very faint green light. |

In Final Fantasy, any place with a constant glow to it (such as the Mako Reactors in Final Fantasy VII and Bahamut's hideout in Final Fantasy VIII) is very important place with lots of either magical or technological power hidden from mortals. Party members tend to glow when using special abilities, and Limit Breaks always glow brightly. An interesting example is in Final Fantasy VI, where Kefka is surrounded by a pyramid of magic before the final fight. In addition to showing his immense magical powers, it reflects his emotions: when he's taunting the party and laughing, it's blue, then turns purple as he laments the futility of life, green when the party members declare he's wrong, then red when he gets angry. Emotion Glows too. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yu-Gi-Oh! does this for several reasons. Spell and Trap cards glow whenever their effects come into play as well as various monster attacks. Millennium Items often glow in order to show they are being activated. Noteworthy glows come from whoever is summoning God cards. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monsters have power glows whenever monsters perform powerful attacks, as well as when Yami Yugi merges with his monsters. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds does this very frequently. Shooting Star Dragon is in constant glow mode and is only ever seen once without it. The final battle with ZONE has Yusei tune all 5 of his friends' dragons into Shooting Quasar Dragon, the most overly glowing transformation sequence in the series, as it involves Yusei and his D-wheel going fully gold. One might be able to guess it has a whole arsenal of effects ready to beat ZONE's Timelords like they were nothing. |

The Rebuild of Evangelion movies introduce this in spades. The most obvious example is what happens to Unit-01 at the end of the second movie: it starts going berserk and gets the usual Glowing Eyes of Doom. But so does its pilot. And the mecha's fluorescent green parts start glowing sickly red. As well as the inside of its maw. Then it rebuilds its amputated arm as a glowy, proteiform appendage, grows a halo, shoots Eye Beams left and right and loses its armour only to reveal glowing white patches beneath it. By the time the credits flash, it has become a giant glowing figure of pure white. Unsurprisingly, its opponent is unable to resist such a brilliant display. | |

The Trollhunter's armor and Sword of Daylight from Trollhunters, as well as the Amulet of Daylight, glow and shimmer with an ethereal blue aura. When all of the Triumbric Stones are added to the Amulet, it glows an ominous dark red aura instead, before a new incantation dons Jim with a dark gold and black version of his normal armor, complete with red highlights. His new sword also emanates that same eerie blood-red color. | |

In Neverwinter Nights magical weapons are also good light sources. In the sequel, magic weapons have various glows depending on the enchantment. Holy glows, fire is flame-wreathed, and thundering has little puffs of ... something. Ammon Jerro's Power Tattoo glows. In Storm of Zehir, +1, +2 and so forth weapons glow in a way that looks like the devs wanted to simulate light glinting off a shiny surface, but couldn't make the graphics engine do the job. |

Gundam Build Fighters has the Star Build Strike's RG System, which turns its inner frame and parts of its outer frame a glowing blue color and is basically an amalgamation of the various glowing super modes in the Gundam franchise such as increased performance and enhanced power. Similarly, the Gundam X Maoh and Amazing Exia both retain their original glowing frames when using their special attacks, namely the Satellite Cannon and Trans-AM respectively. Parts of Qubeley Papillion's frame glow whenever the Embody system is utilized. |

Later games in the series, such as Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun and Blue Moon, implement Full Synchro as an effect you can get in battle if you're skilled. It's depicted by Rock glowing (his color becomes light) and a pink halo spinning about his body. Very powerful NPCs and enemies in cutscenes also flash with light, notably Gospel in Mega Man Battle Network 2, Proto (Alpha) in the Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue and the Cyber Beasts in Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar. | |

In tokusatsu, a basic rule is "if you make your sword or foot glow, it will gain the power to explode rubber monsters." Kamen Rider 555 had an interesting spin on it: the five Riders' costumes are covered with "veins" through which pumps a glowing substance that powers them. In nighttime scenes, the "veins" and visors glow, and use of a Finishing Move causes a bead of energy to run from the belt (the main power source) to the Rider's foot or sword or whatever they're going to use. The same series started a trend of a Rider's eyes glowing for a bit after they're done transforming, in order to signify that the process is done. |

Warhammer 40,000 Necron technology has a Sickly Green Glow and accounts for some of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Even their basic foot soldiers have guns that can destroy tanks and punch through heavy armor. The God-Emperor of Mankind has bright golden plate armor, a flowing mane of hair, and a Flaming Sword. Oh, and he's the most powerful psychic the galaxy has to offer. His entire body visibly glows from his immense power. The Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marines have all been sealed inside their armor and now exist as magical golem style soldiers. Any gaps that appear in the armor (typically from incoming fire that damages the armor) reveals that the interior of their suits now glow. Some people have even brought this to the table◊. The ancient Adeptus Mechanicus power axe Petre Cog-Toothnote introduced during 8th Edition of the game, is said to be the first and most powerful Omnissian power axes ever created and its blade glows with an aura of power. Some less devout minds claim this glow could actually be due to extreme radiation saturation. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The show applies this to, well, magic, which arguably qualifies as this trope. In the premieres of both the first and second seasons, for example, Twilight's eyes (and the second time, those of her friends too) glow when she and her friends unleash their Care-Bear Stare. Also happens in her exam flashback in "The Cutiemark Chronicles" when the Sonic Rainboom triggers her innate magic and makes it go out of control. Complete with Power Floats and a few (thankfully temporary) cases of Forced Transformation of bystanders. During Twilight's transformation into an alicorn she gets surrounded by a bright purple light in the shape of her cutie-mark. Earlier in the episode, that very same power glows makes it look as if it burned Twilight into a pile of ash, much to her friends' terror. Twilight's Kingdom Part 2: Twilight sparks with electricity occasionally as a result of being supercharged by the other Princesses. When Twilight first receives the combined power, as well as when she tries to lower the moon and raise the sun, her body glows and her hair turns more ethereal, with a glow about her. Basically, she comes to look more like Celestia and Luna, and is visibly reining in the transformation with force of will (she was given the power to hide it from a magic-eating villain, so turning into a double-size pony with hair made of energy like her godlike mentor wasn't the plan.) The Rainbow Power is very glowy indeed, which wears off once it's done its job. |

Five Fingers of Death has an example that doesn't involve weapons. Whenever the protagonist, Hao, uses the titular Dangerous Forbidden Technique, his palms glow visibly with an intense red aura; in this state his kung fu skills are multipled, at one point chopping a katana in half with his bare hands! | |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: The She-Ra form glows like an eight-foot humanoid sun, making it useless for stealth. Other princesses glow occasionally while using their powers, particularly Glimmer and eventually, Scorpia, but since Adora's power is turning into She-Ra, she glows constantly in that form. During the season 1 finale, the episode "The Frozen Forest", and the season 4 finale, when the princesses are properly aligned, they all light up in appropriate shades; oddly, Bow's heart insignia also lights up during the same sequence of the season 1 finale, even though he's The Team Normal, but nothing has ever really been done with this. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Many attacks glow a certain color before making things explode and blast off (Iron Tail, Focus Punch, Bubble Beam, etc). Psychic-type Pokémon often glow cyan while levitating. In the movie Pokémon 2000, to save Lugia, the three legendary bird Pokémon, and resolve all conflict, Melody had to play a tune on what looked like some sort of ocarina. The stones she played it next to glowed depending on what note she used, and then glowing water came out from nowhere and entered into the sea. |

Every version of Mega Man who can charge up usually glows while doing so. Mega Man X was the first to glow different colors depending on how much he's charged. With the double-shot and Zero's Z-Saber in X3, he glows blue, yellow, pink, and finally green to indicate he can fire two fully-charged shots and the Z-Saber. Zero glows these same colors when he charges up his Z-Buster, but X3 is the last game where Zero can use his Buster the same way, and X one-ups him for once by launching an energy wave when he swings the Z-Saber, assuming he has the double-shot. | |

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! has mocked this trope a few times. The alien Fructose Riboflavin once remarked that when you want to impress someone from a primitive planet, you just land your spaceship and switch on the highbeams on on your headlights. Much later, when the Cosmic Entities Gosh and Coney leave at the end of their story arc, they do so abruptly and anticlimactically; Molly complains that, as per every movie ever made with such a scene, there should be a fancy lightshow to accompany it. The spacecops accompanying her decide to indulge her, and fire off every weapon on their ship at once, making a fancy lightshow that makes her very happy. | |

In The Cosmere, "Live Investiture" that is being unused tends to glow a bright white, to wit: All magic produces bright glows in Elantris, because it is the sign of the power of the Dor breaking in to the physical world. The most powerful practitioners of magic, the Elantrians actually glow non-stop, but other magic-users produce light with their powers as well. Interestingly the glowing caused extra problems when the magic went away because the glow attracted a fungus which fed on and enhanced the light. When the magic failed and the glow disappeared the fungus died and rotted, coating all of the surfaces of Elantris in slime. This slime is partially responsible for why the city looks so much more decrepit than it should be. Stormlight, the primary magic power of The Stormlight Archive, glows, as one might expect from the name. A slight subversion in that most people use the glow more than the power itself, though it can be used to run Magitek. Also, living Shardblades have slightly glowing Tron Lines on them in the colour associated with the Radiant's order. In The Bands of Mourning, any user of the titular bands starts glowing and shedding mist when active. |

A rule of thumb in Rift. Any monsters nearby when one of the titular rifts opens will become "touched" by that rift's element. Shadetouched monsters glow purple, faetouched monsters glow pale green, windtouched ones glow deep blue, stonetouched ones glow tan, tidetouched ones glow teal, and flametouched ones glow red.

Magic items glow in Goblins when being used. Some of them also "smoke" light. They actually channel the users' aura, which changes color and effect (i.e., "smoking" light) depending on the individual. This is why when someone loots a magic weapon, it glows differently than whoever was just using it. | |

The Mega Man Battle Network series: In Mega Man Battle Network 1 game, Mega Man glows when his program is being rewritten after Hub.bat is installed. The MegaMan NT Warrior anime also does this with Program Advances. Especially the first few times they're used. Later games in the series, such as Mega Man Battle Network 4: Red Sun and Blue Moon, implement Full Synchro as an effect you can get in battle if you're skilled. It's depicted by Rock glowing (his color becomes light) and a pink halo spinning about his body. Very powerful NPCs and enemies in cutscenes also flash with light, notably Gospel in Mega Man Battle Network 2, Proto (Alpha) in the Mega Man Battle Network 3: White and Blue and the Cyber Beasts in Mega Man Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar and Cybeast Falzar. Every version of Mega Man who can charge up usually glows while doing so. Mega Man X was the first to glow different colors depending on how much he's charged. With the double-shot and Zero's Z-Saber in X3, he glows blue, yellow, pink, and finally green to indicate he can fire two fully-charged shots and the Z-Saber. Zero glows these same colors when he charges up his Z-Buster, but X3 is the last game where Zero can use his Buster the same way, and X one-ups him for once by launching an energy wave when he swings the Z-Saber, assuming he has the double-shot. |

Coco: While the skeletons are visiting the living world, they are glowing and semitransparent. When Imelda is preparing her blessing to send Miguel home, the marigold petal in her hand glows brightly, with the glow becoming brighter when conditions are added. Ernesto's does not however, either because he isn't related to Miguel in the first place or because he didn't finish saying the word "blessing" before being interrupted. Skeletons flash red and yellow and feel pain when they're in danger of being forgotten. |

Actually inverted in the Android saga of Dragon Ball Z. The titular androids - cyborgs more powerful even than Frieza - are shown as extreme threats, despite their lack of any glow at all. In fact, Androids 17 and 18 are for a short time the two strongest beings in the DB universe, the latter totally trouncing the very glowy, newly Super-Saiyan Vegeta. This is because the glowing Battle Aura is a product of ki energy, the source of nearly all DBZ fighters' superhuman powers. All, that is, except the Androids. The fact that their power is so different in nature was part of what made them so dangerous: all of the heroes can sense powerful ki from miles away, but one of the Androids could be standing right behind them and they wouldn't even know it. Which is exactly what happens to Yamcha. The results include a fist-shaped hole from his back to his chest. |

The Hands of the Emperor: Whenever the emperor does magic, his eyes glow golden, and sometimes he is also accompanied by a golden glow. The eyes of other wizards, such as the Mother of the Mountain, may glow in different colors, e.g. silver. Also, in the days of the empire, all the magic of the lands connected to the emperor and made him or her quite literally blinding to look at. | |

It glows when placed on Blair's head because she's the lost princess Sophia and the only survivor of the royal family; if it were placed on Delancy's head, it would've not glowed, because Delancy is not the true heir to the throne due to the fact Princess Sophia is still around. | |

Fantastic Four: Often Invisible Woman's force fields, which are supposed to be invisible, were drawn with dotted lines or shading so that the reader knew where they were, even while it was presumed that characters could not see them. This invisibility was used dramatically during John Byrne's run, where the identity of the super-villain Malice and her powers were a mystery as she systematically took down the members of the team using completely unseen forces. It is only when Daredevil, who "sees" via a radar sense, shows up and asks about the "amorphous blob" they are fighting that they realize that it is Sue and her invisible force fields, thus saving the team from another Reed Richards Is Useless incident. More recent depictions, however, sometimes show Sue's power as a crackling energy field, not unlike those of other psionic characters. | |

Metroid: Super Metroid: The Charge Beam, Speed Booster, Screw Attack, and Hyper Beam all make Samus glow to varying degrees and are easily some of her most powerful abilities. Especially the Hyper Beam, where Samus starts glowing for several seconds after acquiring it to let you know that shit just got real. In Metroid Prime, anything even vaguely related to phazon is always glowing. In the rest of the series, all powerups glow. |

In YuYu Hakusho, B Class and higher beings like Toguro, Yusuke, Bui, and Sensui often display bright auras when either manifesting their full power or when using a powerful attack. Especially powerful auras can cause adverse things to the wielder's surroundings: Toguro's can disintegrate anything drastically weaker than him, and the combined power of Sensui's Sacred Energy and Yusuke's new-found demonic power created massive earthquakes and twisters strong enough to kill A-Class beings in an instant. | |

City of Heroes (And Villains) doesn't shy from this, either. By hitting Level 30, characters gain the ability to attach an Aura of his choice to every costume. Most of these simply Glow (although some get creative and crumble instead), and none of them does anything other than being awesome. Even without the lvl 30 auras, most melee characters have a set of glowy auras from a variety of defensive powers (and even being able to run fast causes your feet to glow) |

Super Smash Bros.: From Brawl onwards, characters will obtain a glowing aura, along with yellow eyes when they break a Smash Ball, an item that gives them the ability to perform a powerful Final Smash. Lucario has a constant blue glow around his hands, representing his Aura powers. And he glows more as he takes damage, representing increased power. Shulk, after activating one of his Monado Arts, has a part of him glow with the art's respective color. For example, "Jump" makes his feet glow green, "Shield" makes his body glow yellow, and "Smash" makes his hands and the Monado glow red. |
