A quick & dirty tutorial on a magical light burst effect that I've been using a lot lately. May be helpful, maybe not...thought I'd share

This is a great tutorial!
In order to spare a few steps, I came up with an alternative method, though:
Rather than using a black -> white gradient, why not use black -> transparent (on a new layer, ideally)? When you do that, it circumvents the need for that whole Quick Masking section, and you're left with the completed effect the moment you add the Polar Coordinates filter!
I hope that's helpful to somebody

Hey Saehral, not the right place to ask but... do you plan on posting the characters arts that you made for Millennium 3: Cry Wolf, by [link] here? It would be great to see them.

Oh hey, I was just looking for a way to do this exact thing. I'd been using Filter -> Stylize -> Wind to make the stripes before Polar Coordinates, and the results were pretty lame. Wave works much better.
Thanks for the tip.
