### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for RPG Respawn & Revival VFX**
This prompt is designed as a modular, dynamic template. The core principle is to break down the complex visual effect of a “life cycle” event (respawn, revival, resurrection) into distinct, controllable components. By filling in the bracketed `[VARIABLES]`, you can generate an infinite variety of highly specific and evocative visual concepts.
**How to Use This Template:**
1. **Copy the Core Prompt Structure.**
2. **Replace the text inside each `[BRACKET]`** with your specific concept.
3. **Combine the filled-in sections** into a single, cohesive prompt paragraph for the AI.
4. **Experiment!** Mix and match elements to create unique effects. For example, a “Necrotic” revival could use “Holy” visual structures but with a dark, corrupted twist.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
#### **Part 1: Core Concept & Scene Setting**
This section establishes the fundamental “who, what, and where” of the scene.
* **Subject:** `[Character Archetype, Race, and Appearance].` (e.g., “A female Elven Archmage in elegant, flowing celestial robes,” “A hulking Orc Berserker covered in tribal war paint and heavy leather armor,” “A rogueish Halfling assassin materializing from shadows.”)
* **Action/State:** `[Specific Action being performed].` (e.g., “is being resurrected by a divine spell,” “is respawning at an ancient, moss-covered runestone,” “is reforming from scattered soul fragments,” “is being revived by a necromantic ritual.”)
* **Environment:** `[Location Description and Atmosphere].` (e.g., “in the heart of a sun-dappled, enchanted forest,” “on a desolate, ash-strewn volcanic battlefield at twilight,” “within a grand, ruined cathedral with light streaming through a broken stained-glass window,” “in an ethereal, crystalline astral plane.”)
#### **Part 2: The VFX Breakdown (The Life Cycle Sequence)**
This is the heart of the prompt, detailing the effect from start to finish. Breaking it down into stages helps the AI visualize a process rather than a static image.
* **Initiation Phase (The Spark):** `[Description of how the effect begins].` (e.g., “The effect begins as runes of [Color] and [Color] light begin to glow on the ground in a complex arcane circle,” “It starts with a single mote of pure [Energy Type] energy descending from the sky,” “A vortex of swirling [Element: e.g., shadow, fire, soul-mist] opens at the respawn point.”)
* **Formation Phase (The Assembly):** `[Description of how the character’s form appears].` (e.g., “The character’s body is woven together from strands of ethereal [Color] light, starting as a translucent silhouette and rapidly solidifying,” “Crystalline shards of [Material] rapidly assemble into the character’s form with sharp, geometric precision,” “A ghostly, translucent apparition of the hero solidifies into flesh and bone, as wisps of soul-energy are drawn into it,” “The body reforms from a swirling pool of liquid [Element/Substance].”)
* **Climax Phase (The Burst):** `[Description of the peak moment of the effect].` (e.g., “At the moment of full formation, a blinding but gentle shockwave of [Color] energy radiates outwards, causing nearby foliage to momentarily glow,” “A powerful nova of [Element] energy erupts from the character, kicking up dust and debris,” “A chorus of spectral wings made of pure [Energy Type] unfurls from the character’s back for a brief moment before dissipating.”)
* **Lingering Phase (The Aftermath):** `[Description of the residual effects].` (e.g., “The effect fades, leaving behind floating embers of [Color] light that slowly dissipate into the air,” “A faint, shimmering heat haze and the scent of ozone remains,” “The arcane runes on the ground continue to glow softly for a few moments before fading to black,” “Small, harmless sparks of [Element] crackle across the character’s armor and weapons.”)
#### **Part 3: Artistic & Technical Directives**
This section controls the final look, feel, and quality of the generated image or concept.
* **Primary Art Style:** `[Overall Artistic Style].` (e.g., “Hyper-realistic, cinematic fantasy art,” “Painterly and expressive digital painting, style of Guild Wars 2 concept art,” “Dark fantasy, grimdark aesthetic, style of FromSoftware (Dark Souls, Elden Ring),” “Stylized, vibrant anime key visual, style of Genshin Impact,” “Gritty, realistic concept art, style of a Blizzard Entertainment cinematic.”)
* **Rendering & Quality:** `[Keywords for detail and realism].` (e.g., “Unreal Engine 5 render, cinematic quality, ray tracing,” “Octane render, incredibly detailed, 8K, photorealistic,” “trending on ArtStation, masterpiece, high-resolution texture.”)
* **Color Palette & Lighting:** `[Dominant colors and lighting setup].` (e.g., “A color palette dominated by sacred golds, celestial whites, and soft blues, with dramatic volumetric lighting and god rays,” “A dark and chaotic palette of necrotic purples, fel-fire greens, and shadow blacks, with harsh, high-contrast source lighting from the effect itself,” “A naturalistic palette of earth tones, greens, and browns, with soft, ambient lighting from the forest canopy.”)
* **Camera & Composition:** `[Shot type and framing].` (e.g., “Dynamic low-angle shot looking up at the hero to emphasize power,” “Wide shot, capturing the full scale of the VFX and its impact on the environment,” “Medium close-up, focusing on the character’s face as they open their eyes for the first time, dramatic and emotional.”)

### **Example Generated Prompt**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated by following the template above. This example is for a “Druidic Rebirth” concept.
**(Full Prompt for AI)**
**”A cinematic, hyper-realistic shot of a female Wood Elf Druid, clad in armor woven from living wood and leaves, being reborn at the base of an immense, ancient tree in the heart of a misty, enchanted forest. The druid is in the final moments of her revival, kneeling as she solidifies.**
**The revival effect is a spectacle of natural magic. It initiated with glowing green and gold veins of energy spreading like roots across the ground from the base of the ancient tree. Her body formed from a whirlwind of enchanted leaves, swirling pollen, and shimmering green life-force, coalescing from a spectral form into solid flesh. At the climax of the rebirth, a gentle pulse of emerald energy radiates outwards, causing nearby flowers to instantly bloom and spectral forest animal spirits—a stag and a wolf—to appear for a fleeting moment. The effect is now in its lingering phase, leaving behind floating, glowing spores of golden light and a faint, shimmering aura of life around the druid.**
**The art style is that of a high-fidelity RPG cinematic, reminiscent of Baldur’s Gate 3, rendered with the quality of Unreal Engine 5. The scene is defined by a color palette of deep greens, earthy browns, and glowing emerald and gold highlights. The lighting is soft and diffused, with volumetric god rays filtering through the dense forest canopy, creating a mystical and serene atmosphere. The camera is a medium shot, positioned at a slightly low angle to capture both the druid’s reverent expression and the grandeur of the ancient tree behind her. Incredibly detailed, 8K, masterpiece, trending on ArtStation.”**
