Light Burst is an ability found in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Light Burst allows Ori to melt frozen objects and light other objects on fire. Ori can also use bash to launch off of a charged Light Burst to reach higher heights.
Unlike in Blind Forest, this version of Light Burst is a fireball. It leaves behind a fairly long trail of fire. When uncharged, some smoke can be seen within the projectile, while the charged form is smokeless. Ori must be on the ground to let the Light Burst charge. The trajectoy of this version is not as flexible as its Blind Forest counterpart. Blind forest will allow the player to perform small tosses, but Will of the Wisps only allows long throws.
Light Burst can also be used for combat, as an uncharged Light Burst deals 4 base damage, and a charged one deals 8 base damage. Both a charged and uncharged Light burst set the target on fire and deal 10 damage over 10 ticks, but this damage does not scale with damage buffs, such as Reckless. However, it's primary use is to gain height by bashing a charged projectile. Unlike in Blind Forest, only one Light Burst can be thrown out at a time, limiting the height gain. Also, only charged Light Bursts can be bashed off, limiting the starting point of a projectile to the ground. It can also be used to melt objects within Baur's Reach.
Light burst costs one energy cell to cast.
Light Burst is an active ability, and must be equipped to use.
