I find the mouse unfocused and destructing. Now we have to see 3 things at once. The energy beam the red light and the mouse.( you have to use wisely whatever radical to guide or impress the eye. never distract it (aka rontos in your face)

I say keep the beam which i love and then you can do something similar with the krypton room when jor el puts the little baby in the ship.

Waving the opacity up and down can give that energy type of thing as well with the appropriate sfx.

You nailed it again Mr j!!!
