About this effect
Particle Burst animates a one-time (looping) radial burst of small particles — sparks, confetti-like shapes, or light motes depending on style settings — that expand outward from a chosen point in the frame and fade as they spread. The burst timing is designed to land at the loop point so it reads as a recurring beat of energy rather than a jarring restart.
