I am new to Destiny and I got a Spark of Light.
Will using it affect the story or will I be able to play through it, but at a higher level?

Since the level requirement for the other missions seems to be below level 25, all those missions will unlock as well.
Note: You do NOT gain 25 levels of experience. You will be a "fresh" level 25 player, meaning you cannot allocate points into skills or anything.
