### **The Optimized AI Prompt Template: Hela’s Necrosword Energy Slash**
This prompt is structured as a “scene brief” for the AI, providing layered details to guide it toward a specific, high-quality outcome.
**(Start of Prompt)**
**[PROMPT TITLE]:** VFX Concept – Hela’s Necrotic Reality-Tear Slash
**[SCENE CONTEXT]:** A macro-cinematic shot set against a backdrop of cosmic darkness and dying nebulae, or a desolate, obsidian throne room on Asgard. The atmosphere is oppressive, regal, and filled with immense, ancient power. The mood is one of absolute, effortless domination.
**[CORE ACTION]:** An ultra-high-speed, dynamic capture of Hela, the Goddess of Death, executing a single, devastatingly powerful horizontal slash with her Necrosword. The primary focus is not on Hela herself, but entirely on the Weapon FX—the visual representation of the energy tearing through the fabric of space. The slash originates from off-camera right and travels with immense velocity towards off-camera left, leaving a lingering, decaying trail.
**[VFX BREAKDOWN – THE SLASH ARC]:**
* **1. Form and Shape:** The slash is not a clean, simple arc of light. It is a violent, jagged “reality tear.” Imagine a line of shattered obsidian, momentarily fused together by pure necrotic energy. The leading edge is razor-thin and intensely bright, while the main body of the slash has a fluctuating, unstable width, with sharp, crystalline fragments breaking off its edges. The overall shape is a slightly curved, horizontal fissure in space.
* **2. Primary Energy & Color Palette:** The core color is a deep, light-absorbing **obsidian black**, so profound it looks like a void. This black is not empty but has a polished, reflective quality like volcanic glass. Pulsing through this black core are intricate, vein-like tendrils of a sickening, ethereal **necrotic green (hex #7CFC00 chartreuse, but more toxic and bioluminescent)**. The very edge of the slash should have a thin, sharp corona of **cold, white-silver light**, representing the raw power slicing through reality. Avoid warm colors entirely.
* **3. Secondary Effects & Particulate Matter:** As the slash moves, it sheds particles and emits energy.
* **Decaying Fragments:** Small, sharp flakes of the obsidian-black energy break off and drift, slowly losing their structure and dissolving into a fine black ash.
* **Soul-Siphoning Smoke:** Wisps of an oily, black smoke with a faint green undertone trail behind the slash. This smoke doesn’t dissipate naturally; it seems to be drawn towards unseen sources, clinging to the air like a curse.
* **Fractal Energy Bursts:** Along the length of the slash, the necrotic green energy occasionally flares up in complex, fractal patterns, like lightning trapped within a dark crystal.
* **Dimensional Distortion:** The air directly around the slash should appear warped and distorted, as if viewing through intense heat haze or a gravitational lens, bending the background.
* **4. Texture & Materiality:** The effect should feel tangible and multi-layered. The black energy has the texture of sharp, freshly broken obsidian. The green energy feels gaseous and corrosive, like a contained acid. The overall effect should look like a fusion of solid crystal, liquid void, and ethereal, soul-like gas.
* **5. Motion & Dynamics:** The initial movement is incredibly fast, almost instantaneous, creating a sense of immense power. However, the *after-effect* lingers. The central tear should hang in the air for a moment before slowly sealing itself, while the smoke and obsidian particles drift in a subtle slow-motion, emphasizing the gravity of the attack.
**[IMPACT & AFTERMATH]:** There is no fiery explosion upon impact. The effect is one of “un-creation” or decay. Any object or energy touched by the slash would instantly develop black, crystalline cracks, then silently crumble into black dust and fading green embers. The prompt should focus on the lingering trail in the air, a visible scar of necrotic energy that slowly fades over several seconds, leaving behind only the faint smell of ozone and ash.
**[LIGHTING & ATMOSPHERE]:** The slash itself is the primary light source. The necrotic green veins cast a sickly, ominous glow on the immediate surroundings. Crucially, the obsidian black core should act as a “negative light,” absorbing ambient light and making the area around it feel darker and colder. This creates a high-contrast, dramatic effect of both emitting and consuming light simultaneously.
**[ARTISTIC STYLE & INSPIRATION]:**
* **Style:** Hyper-realistic, cinematic VFX, high-fidelity render.
* **Engine/Quality:** Aim for the visual quality of an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo or a Weta Digital VFX shot.
* **Inspirations:** Visually inspired by the weapon effects from *Thor: Ragnarok*, the Necromancer skills in *Diablo IV*, and the reality-bending visuals of *Doctor Strange*. The aesthetic is cosmic horror meets high fantasy.
**[TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS]:**
* **Camera:** Extreme close-up, tracking shot following the leading edge of the slash.
* **Focus:** Shallow depth of field, with the focus razor-sharp on the energy trail and its particulate effects. The background is heavily blurred.
* **Resolution & Detail:** Photorealistic, 8K resolution, intricate detail, no digital artifacts, high dynamic range (HDR).

### **Example Prompt Following the Same Structure**
This example demonstrates how the template can be adapted for a different thematic concept, in this case, a holy, fire-based weapon.
**(Start of Example Prompt)**
**[PROMPT TITLE]:** VFX Concept – Archangel’s Solar Wrath Cleave
**[SCENE CONTEXT]:** A dynamic shot set against a backdrop of crumbling, demonic architecture under a stormy, twilight sky. The atmosphere is one of desperate, righteous fury. The mood is a climactic, holy judgment.
**[CORE ACTION]:** A cinematic, slow-motion capture of a Seraphim warrior’s greatsword completing a powerful, downward diagonal cleave. The focus is entirely on the Weapon FX—the trail of solar fire left by the blade’s arc. The sword has just passed its target, and the visual effect is at its most brilliant and intense.
**[VFX BREAKDOWN – THE SLASH ARC]:**
* **1. Form and Shape:** The slash is a perfect, clean, and graceful arc of brilliant energy. Its form is smooth and fluid, like a ribbon of liquid sunlight. The leading edge is blindingly sharp, while the trailing edge is softer, breaking apart into ethereal feathers of light.
* **2. Primary Energy & Color Palette:** The core of the slash is a blinding **solar white (hex #FFFFFF)**, so bright it has a lens flare effect. This core transitions outwards into a vibrant, molten **celestial gold (hex #FFD700)**. The outermost edges of the arc are a soft, warm **sunrise orange (hex #FFA500)**. The palette is entirely warm, pure, and overwhelming.
* **3. Secondary Effects & Particulate Matter:**
* **Golden Embers:** A shower of soft, glowing golden embers are thrown from the slash arc. They don’t burn out but float gently like snowflakes before fading into light.
* **Holy Steam:** Billows of pure white, sanctified steam rise from the slash, purifying the corrupted air around it.
* **Feathered Wisps:** The trailing edge of the slash dissolves into small, stylized wisps of light that resemble angelic feathers, which ascend upwards before dissipating.
* **Heat Refraction:** The air around the brilliant arc shimmers and warps from the intense, holy heat.
* **4. Texture & Materiality:** The effect should feel like a controlled solar flare. The core is pure plasma, while the outer layers have the texture of liquid gold and a gaseous, incandescent cloud. It feels intensely hot but also pure and cleansing, not destructive.
* **5. Motion & Dynamics:** The motion is powerful yet elegant. The slow-motion capture allows the viewer to appreciate the fluid dynamics of the fire. The embers and feathered wisps float with a gentle, anti-gravity quality, contrasting the fierce speed of the initial attack.
**[IMPACT & AFTERMATH]:** The impact of this slash is one of purification and consecration. Demonic entities or corrupted ground hit by it are not blown apart but are seared by holy fire, turning to white ash and sanctified dust. The arc leaves a lingering brand of golden light in the air that slowly brightens before fading away peacefully.
**[LIGHTING & ATMOSPHERE]:** The slash is an overwhelming light source, casting strong, warm light and sharp, defined shadows. It bathes the dark, demonic scene in a hopeful, divine radiance, overpowering the gloomy ambient light. It should create a beautiful and dramatic lens flare effect in the camera.
**[ARTISTIC STYLE & INSPIRATION]:**
* **Style:** Cinematic high-fantasy, epic, ethereal.
* **Engine/Quality:** Render quality similar to a Blizzard Entertainment cinematic (*Diablo*, *World of Warcraft*).
* **Inspirations:** Visually inspired by the Light-based abilities in the *Destiny* game series, Gandalf’s magic in *The Lord of the Rings*, and the holy weapon arts in *Elden Ring*.
**[TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS]:**
* **Camera:** Medium shot, captured with a high-speed camera for an elegant slow-motion effect.
* **Focus:** Deep depth of field, keeping both the weapon trail and the immediate environment in sharp focus to showcase the light’s interaction.
* **Resolution & Detail:** High-fidelity, 4K resolution, volumetric lighting, particle physics.
