I think it would look better if the entire ball started small and then expanded instead of just the dark parts.Perhaps simply adjusting the vertex extrude texture would work.
yes..i was thinking could just expand it, then fade out to transparent..
but probably should look some reference how to explode it, like:

thankful for this site and sources.
how can i increase speed of change?
Anim/speed comes from those “_Time.x” & “_SinTime” commands, so try “*10” or so.
