Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

1. Reference Character Lock — Highest Priority

Use ${reference-image} as the sole reference for the character’s appearance. Strictly preserve the original person’s face shape, facial proportions, gaze, skin tone, hairstyle, hair color, hair ornaments, earrings, and overall presence.

The character is a mysterious Eastern fantasy sorceress with a calm, focused, confident expression. She sits upright, turned slightly sideways, in an ancient library, supporting an open ancient book with one hand while reaching into the air with the other to guide golden talismans and the flow of spiritual energy.

Retain the delicate red talisman mark on her forehead. Her hair is adorned with elaborate gold-patterned hairpins, red tassels, and small gemstones. Her face must be refined and clear, with realistic moist reflections in the eyes. Preserve natural skin texture; do not make the skin look plastic or excessively airbrushed.

2. Costume Design — Black, Gold, and Crimson Fantasy Robes

Dress the character in ornate Eastern fantasy robes, primarily in obsidian black, antique gold, and deep crimson.

The black silk robe is densely embroidered with fine ancient golden runes, demon-suppressing seals, and mysterious ritual-circle patterns. Red lining and long ribbons extend naturally from the sleeves, waist, and skirt hem. An outer layer of translucent white-gray gauze patterned with talismanic symbols creates a light, flowing, layered appearance.

The gold-thread embroidery must have delicate metallic reflections and realistic thread texture. The sleeves and long skirt billow outward in the spiritual airflow, creating a dynamic, encircling composition.

The runes on the clothing must look genuinely embroidered, not like flat texture overlays or random, disorganized gold lines.

3. Scene Design — Library of Countless Volumes

Set the scene in a deep, ancient Eastern library filled with mysterious power.

Surround the character with dark wooden bookshelves rising to the ceiling, packed with ancient books, bamboo slips, thread-bound volumes, and yellowed spell scrolls. Ancient wooden pillars, carved bookcases, and hanging lanterns establish an architectural space with depth.

Large numbers of yellowed paper talismans float in the air, forming spiraling magical paths around the character. Some talismans flip and flutter rapidly, with clearly visible inked runes on their surfaces.

Several enormous black shadow demons loom high behind the character, with ferocious silhouettes, dim crimson eyes, and flowing ink-black energy. Their bodies coalesce from smoke, black liquid matter, and shadow, creating an awe-inspiring sense of oppressive power.

Keep the demons in the background and overhead. They must not obscure the character’s face, hands, or primary magical light source.

4. Magical Core — Golden Light Bursting from an Ancient Book

The character supports a thick, ancient spellbook with a deep black cover, antique bronze-gold carvings, worn leather, and intricate rune decorations.

Capture the instant the book opens and dazzling golden spiritual energy erupts from the center of its pages.

Golden light spreads outward along the patterns on the pages, forming delicate luminous runes, flowing strands of light, and tiny golden particles. Several talismanic spells fly out of the pages, circle the character’s palm, and then extend toward the shadow demons overhead.

The airborne paper talismans resonate with golden magic circles. Individual runes light up in succession, as though ancient sealing powers are awakening throughout the entire library.

The golden energy must have a clear direction of flow, natural brightness gradients, and realistic volume. Avoid reducing it to a simple yellow blob of light.

5. Cinematic Lighting Design — The Visual Priority

Lighting must be the dominant force in the image. Use interacting light sources to create a richly detailed cinematic image with strong contrasts between light and shadow.

1. Key light: golden radiance bursting from the ancient book. Use the golden magic at the center of the pages as the most important close-range light source. It illuminates the character’s fingertips, backs of the hands, jaw, nose bridge, and cheeks from below. The golden light must reflect realistically in the eyes, on the lips, and across the skin, producing delicate warm-gold reflections.

2. Character rim light: cool blue-silver backlighting. Introduce cool blue moonlight from behind and above to the side of the character, outlining the hair, shoulders, sleeves, and drifting gauze so that the black clothing clearly separates from the dark background.

3. Demonic ambient light: eerie blue and dark red. The demons’ dim crimson eyes cast faint red reflections. Combine these with cool blue ambient light to reveal the demons’ wet black surfaces and three-dimensional contours.

4. Transmitted light through the talismans: warm white and amber gold. Yellowed talismans near the magical light source become translucent, with clearly visible paper fibers, curled edges, and ink details. More distant talismans gradually merge into the cool shadows.

5. Volumetric beams through the library. Cool blue shafts enter through high lattice windows and intersect with the golden light released by the book, creating visible columns of light in the air. Tiny dust motes and golden particles sparkle in these beams, enhancing spatial depth.

6. Material reflections: physically accurate light and shadow. Gold embroidery, metal hairpins, red gemstones, the ancient book cover, wooden bookshelves, and black demon surfaces must each display highlights and reflections appropriate to their materials. Do not give them all the same brightness.

7. Exposure control: retain detail in highlights and depth in shadows. The glowing pages are the brightest area, but must not become a featureless white patch. Keep the character’s eyes, facial features, and fingers clear. Embroidery and fabric texture must remain visible on the black robe, while the background demons retain their silhouettes rather than disappearing into pure black.

Use an overall warm–cool contrast: golden key light and red accents provide emotional tension, cool blue rim light creates spatial separation, and the black environment establishes mystery.

6. Camera and Composition

Use a vertical ${aspect-ratio:9:16} cinematic poster composition.

Use a slightly low camera angle, with framing ranging from a medium close-up to a two-thirds-length portrait. Position the character slightly below the center of the image, with the face and glowing ancient book as the main focal points.

Place a few blurred ancient books, candlesticks, and talismans passing close to the lens in the foreground. Clearly show the character, both hands, spellbook, and flowing robes in the middle ground. Show towering bookshelves, floating talismans, and enormous shadow demons in the background.

Use foreground, middle-ground, and background depth layers, combined with the spatial dynamism of a wide-angle cinematic lens, but do not distort the character’s face.

Keep the face and hands sharply focused. Distribute talismans along diagonal and spiral paths, with golden energy naturally converging on the ancient book to create guiding visual lines.

7. Effects and Physical Details

- Paper talismans have realistic thickness, fibers, and natural curling.
- Black demons have wet liquid reflections, smoky edges, and deep three-dimensional structure.
- Golden runes have delicate luminous edges and localized pulses of energy.
- Long hair, tassels, red ribbons, and gauze move naturally in the direction of the airflow.
- The ancient book’s pages show realistic wear and layered paper, along with golden carved details.
- Golden particles spread outward from the pages, sharp nearby and gradually blurred farther away.
- Use physically accurate global illumination, ray-traced reflections, volumetric fog, and cinematic depth of field.
- Effects must not obscure the character’s eyes, facial features, fingers, or the essential shape of the ancient book.

Final Goal

Create a cinematic key visual for an Eastern dark fantasy film: a sorceress sits upright in a library of countless volumes, an open ancient book releases dazzling golden spiritual energy, innumerable paper talismans swirl around her, and giant shadow demons loom overhead. Interweave golden light from the pages, cool blue rim light, and eerie crimson demonic light so that the character, costume, paper talismans, and demons each possess distinct, realistic layers of light and shadow. Create a mysterious, breathtaking, sumptuous visual work worthy of collecting.
