### **Introduction & Best Practices**
This dynamic prompt is engineered as a modular template. The structure is broken down into key components, each represented by a `[VARIABLE_IN_BRACKETS]`. To use it, you will replace the text within each bracket with your specific creative choices. This method provides immense control over the final image, allowing for endless variations on the core theme of an ancient temple’s magical awakening.
For best results:
* **Be Descriptive:** Use powerful adjectives and specific nouns. Instead of “glowing lines,” try “incandescent filaments of raw mana” or “cascading hieroglyphs of liquid starlight.”
* **Layer Details:** Start with the broad scene and progressively add finer details like particle effects, atmospheric haze, and material textures.
* **Chain Concepts:** Use commas to link related ideas. The AI understands that concepts grouped together are related.
* **Universality:** This prompt avoids platform-specific commands (like `–ar 16:9`). You should add those parameters separately in the interface of the AI platform you are using.

### **Guide to Filling the Variables (With Examples)**
* **`[CAMERA_AND_COMPOSITION]`**: (e.g., *Ultra-wide angle, dramatic low-angle shot, dynamic Dutch angle, symmetrical long-shot*)
* **`[SCENE_DESCRIPTION]`**: (e.g., *the grand inner sanctum of a forgotten chronomancer’s temple awakening after a millennium, the resonant chamber of a subterranean acoustic temple, the celestial observatory at the peak of a monolithic temple*)
* **`[CENTRAL_FOCAL_POINT]`**: (e.g., *a colossal floating crystalline lotus, a massive stone altar carved with impossible geometry, a shimmering temporal rift tearing through reality, a giant suspended orrery of unknown metals*)
* **`[COMPOSITIONAL_ELEMENTS]`**: (e.g., *strong leading lines from crumbling pillars, a spiraling vortex composition, the rule of thirds focusing on the central altar*)
* **`[TEMPLE_ARCHITECTURE]`**: (e.g., *towering cyclopean basalt blocks fused with veins of glowing crystal, intricate sandstone carvings of forgotten deities and cosmic cycles, bio-luminescent, living architecture of woven petrified wood*)
* **`[STATE_OF_DECAY]`**: (e.g., *thick moss and ancient vines clinging to every surface, cracked and crumbling stonework, pristine and unnaturally preserved by a time-stasis field*)
* **`[FLORA_AND_FAUNA_ELEMENTS]`**: (e.g., *glowing ethereal moss, strange crystalline fungi, no life at all due to the raw magic*)
* **`[FLOOR_MATERIAL_AND_EFFECT]`**: (e.g., *polished obsidian floor reflecting the celestial magic like a mirror, flagstones covered in shimmering, magical frost, a floor of packed sand where every grain levitates slightly*)
* **`[MAGIC_FX_PRIMARY]`**: (e.g., *a massive wave of chronomantic energy rippling outwards, a blinding column of pure aetheric light erupting towards the ceiling, a silent explosion of solidified soundwaves*)
* **`[ENERGY_FORM_AND_TEXTURE]`**: (e.g., *fractal patterns of lightning, shimmering liquid light, swirling vortex of cosmic dust and nebulae, ghostly, semi-transparent ribbons of energy*)
* **`[ENERGY_MOVEMENT_AND_SPEED]`**: (e.g., *slow, majestic, and inexorable power, chaotic and violent speed, graceful and flowing like water*)
* **`[LIGHT_EMISSION_QUALITY]`**: (e.g., *soft and ethereal, harsh and blinding, pulsating and rhythmic*)

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above, focusing on a celestial/astronomical theme.
**(You can copy this directly into an AI image generator)**
**1. Core Concept & Composition:**
Ultra-wide angle, dramatic low-angle shot, cinematic shot of the grand observatory sanctum of a forgotten celestial temple awakening after a cosmic alignment. The scene is dominated by a giant, levitating astrolabe of gold and crystal which is the epicenter of a powerful magical event. The composition uses the concentric circles of the astrolabe and towering pillars as strong leading lines to guide the viewer’s eye.
**2. Architectural & Environmental Details:**
The temple’s interior is defined by colossal pillars of polished obsidian and a domed ceiling that is a perfect, seamless star-chart of living constellations. The structure shows immense age with fine, hairline cracks in the obsidian, but is otherwise unnaturally preserved. The environment is filled with softly glowing astral moss growing in the joints of the stonework. The ground is made of a flawless, polished marble floor that perfectly reflects the celestial magic like a mirror.
**3. Primary Magical Effect (The Awakening):**
The core of the awakening is a coalescing nebula of pure starlight being drawn into the central astrolabe. This energy manifests as a swirling vortex of cosmic dust and nebulae, shimmering with the light of a thousand distant galaxies, and moves with a sense of slow, majestic, and inexorable power. It emits a powerful, soft and ethereal, pulsating light.
**4. Secondary & Environmental FX:**
Supporting the main event are countless glowing cuneiform and astrological sigils activating in brilliant cyan sequence along the walls and pillars. The ancient magic directly interacts with the temple, causing motes of dust and tiny loose stones to levitate weightlessly in the air. The very air shimmers with floating embers of solidified starlight and subtle, transparent distortions in space-time.
**5. Lighting & Color Palette:**
The primary light source is the magical awakening, casting dramatic volumetric lighting and god rays through the swirling cosmic dust. The overall color palette is a dramatic mix of deep cosmic blues, majestic purples, and brilliant gold, with radiant cyan accents from the glowing sigils, creating a mood of awe-inspiring and divine power. Shadows are deep and dramatic, stretching long behind the pillars.
**6. Style & Rendering:**
Masterpiece, hyper-detailed cinematic concept art. The image has the detail and quality of a digital painting by a collaboration between Greg Rutkowski and Noah Bradley, capturing epic scale and magical realism. Insanely detailed, intricate, hyper-realistic, 8K resolution, octane render, Unreal Engine 5 cinematic.
