Blender real-time FX Study

I decided to learn some Blender FX over the weekend by following a couple tutorials for some basic magic & fire stuff.
During the project I also learnt how to use drivers properly which will be very helpful for future works.

Before the middle was masked, it looked rather like a blue star!

The node tree for the blue magic texture, loosely inspired by an effect tutorial.

Viewport render of both effects.

This is the unmasked texture that I swiftly improvised while following the tutorial.

This was a quick real time, non-simulation fire.
This material method is rather exciting as I can easily make stylised fire with this workflow.
