### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete prompt generated using the dynamic structure above, demonstrating how the components come together to create a powerful and specific request.

**Concept:** An ancient, undead dragon breathing ghostly fire in a frozen wasteland.

**(1. Core Subject & Composition):**
`VFX concept art of an Undead Frost-Wyrm in a stormy arctic tundra. The shot is a dynamic low-angle shot, focusing on the dragon’s glowing throat and open jaw. The atmosphere is a heavy blizzard at midnight, illuminated only by the moon and the dragon’s glow.`

**(2. The Fire Breath – Primary Characteristics):**
`The dragon unleashes a torrential wave of ghostly soul-fire. The core of the flame is an incandescent, cold white-blue, transitioning to ethereal cyan and pale violet, and edged with dissipating, shadowy tendrils. The fire’s luminosity casts an eerie, phosphorescent glow on the falling snow.`

**(3. The Fire Breath – Dynamics & Particle FX):**
`The breath weapon is ejected with a sustained, roaring torrent that seems to absorb sound. It is accompanied by a cloud of crackling, frost-like energy particles and trailing ribbons of shimmering heat haze that paradoxically freeze the air. The air around the flames distorts with a magical, reality-warping schlieren effect.`

**(4. Impact & Environmental Interaction):**
`Where the fire strikes the frozen, snow-covered ground, it causes an effect of flash-freezing and crystallization. The immediate area is covered in jagged, glowing blue ice crystals, generating billowing clouds of supercooled white vapor.`

**(5. Artistic Style & Rendering):**
`Style: Cinematic dark fantasy, hyperrealistic. Rendered with techniques inspired by a Houdini simulation for VFX, emphasizing volumetric lighting and complex particle physics. The image should have intricate detail and a color palette dominated by deep blues, blacks, and brilliant white-cyan highlights.`
