### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt Template: Ancient Rune Activation VEO 3**
**Purpose:** This dynamic prompt is engineered to generate highly detailed and atmospherically rich visuals of ancient magical runes activating. It focuses on the Symbolic FX (Visual Effects) of the event, emphasizing light, energy, and texture. The “VEO 3” designation is interpreted here as **Volumetric Ethereal Overlay, Version 3**, a style characterized by sophisticated light interaction, particle effects, and a sense of tangible, otherworldly energy.
**How to Use This Template:**
Replace the bracketed placeholders `[variable]` with your specific concepts. Each section is designed to build upon the last, creating a rich, layered description that any AI model can interpret effectively. Do not use the brackets in your final prompt.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Structure**
**(Core Concept & Framing)**
`[1. Composition] shot of [2. Primary Subject], focusing on the intricate details of an ancient runic symbol as it undergoes a powerful magical activation.`
**(Rune & Surface Description)**
`The rune, shaped like [3. Rune Shape & Style], is deeply etched into a surface of [4. Rune Material]. The carvings themselves glow with an inner luminescence, a testament to the raw power contained within. The material shows signs of age and significance, such as [5. Surface Details].`
**(VEO 3 – Volumetric Ethereal Overlay – The FX Core)**

### **Breakdown and Explanation of Dynamic Variables**
1. **[Composition]:** Defines the “camera” view.
* *Examples:* `Extreme close-up`, `Dynamic low-angle`, `Macro detail`, `Slightly off-center`.
2. **[Primary Subject]:** The central focus.
* *Examples:* `a single, powerful binding rune`, `a complex circular runic array`, `a forgotten celestial ward`.
3. **[Rune Shape & Style]:** The visual design of the rune.
* *Examples:* `intertwined Celtic knots`, `sharp, draconic sigils`, `geometric celestial symbols`, `flowing, elven script`.
4. **[Rune Material]:** The surface the rune is on. This affects texture and light reflection.
* *Examples:* `moss-covered megalithic stone`, `a slab of cracked, volcanic obsidian`, `the surface of a crystallized dragon’s heart`, `ancient, petrified gnarled oak wood`.
5. **[Surface Details]:** Adds realism and history.
* *Examples:* `faint scorch marks from previous activations`, `a fine layer of frost that is rapidly melting away`, `veins of pure gold running through the stone`.
6. **[VEO Style & Intensity]:** Describes the overall feel of the magical effect.
* *Examples:* `gentle and controlled`, `violent and chaotic`, `shimmering and ethereal`, `intense and blinding`.
7. **[Primary Energy Manifestation]:** The core visual of the activation.
* *Examples:* `crackling tendrils of pure lightning`, `a soft, pulsating wave of light`, `a column of shimmering, spectral flame`, `fractal patterns of condensed mana`.
8. **[Lighting Effect]:** How the energy interacts with its surroundings.
* *Examples:* `soft, radiant light`, `harsh, flickering shadows`, `caustic light patterns on the ceiling`, `a brilliant, lens-flaring glare`.
9. **[Atmospheric Distortion]:** Adds a sense of physical power to the air.
* *Examples:* `a visible heat-haze distortion in the air`, `a gravitational lensing effect around the core`, `ripples in spacetime emanating outwards`.
10. **[Particle Effects]:** The small, secondary elements that add complexity and magic.
* *Examples:* `floating motes of solidified magic`, `drifting embers of spectral fire`, `tiny, shimmering glyphs that form and dissipate`, `swirling cosmic dust`.
11. **[Color Palette]:** Crucial for setting the mood and magic type.
* *Examples:* `ethereal cyan and shimmering silver`, `deep amethyst purple and radiant gold`, `fiery crimson and volcanic orange`, `soulfire green and necrotic black`.
12. **[Location Context]:** Grounds the scene.
* *Examples:* `on a ritualistic altar in a forgotten temple`, `deep within a crystalline cave network`, `on the floor of an archmage’s library`.
13. **[Atmospheric Qualities]:** Describes the feel of the environment.
* *Examples:* `heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient dust`, `cold enough to see one’s breath`, `palpably silent, broken only by the hum of power`.
14. **[Ambient Lighting]:** The secondary light source.
* *Examples:* `dim, with moonlight filtering through a crack in the ceiling`, `provided only by faintly glowing nearby crystals`, `almost complete darkness`.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above.
**(Prompt)**
Extreme close-up shot of a complex circular runic array, focusing on the intricate details of an ancient runic symbol as it undergoes a powerful magical activation.
The rune, shaped like sharp, draconic sigils, is deeply etched into a surface of a slab of cracked, volcanic obsidian. The carvings themselves glow with an inner luminescence, a testament to the raw power contained within. The material shows signs of age and significance, such as faint scorch marks from previous activations.
As the activation peaks, a violent and chaotic VEO 3 effect manifests. This involves crackling tendrils of pure lightning that erupt from the glyphs, casting harsh, flickering shadows across the scene. The energy is not just light, but has a tangible quality, creating a visible heat-haze distortion in the air. Swirling around the rune are drifting embers of spectral fire and tiny, shimmering glyphs that form and dissipate, which catch the magical light and drift on unseen currents of mana. The dominant color palette is a stunning combination of deep amethyst purple and radiant gold.
This event is taking place on a ritualistic altar in a forgotten temple, and the surrounding atmosphere is heavy with the scent of ozone and ancient dust. The ambient light is almost complete darkness, which contrasts with the brilliant glow of the rune, creating a sense of deep mystery and immense power.
