### **Example Generated Prompt**
Here is a complete, high-quality prompt generated using the dynamic template above. This example focuses on a powerful, necromantic theme.
**Prompt:**
“A cinematic VFX shot of a forbidden necromantic ritual circle, meticulously inscribed in glowing blood on the cracked flagstone floor of a subterranean crypt. The circle is composed of overlapping, intricate, and chaotic occult sigils and forgotten glyphs. It is pulsating with a malevolent, cold, soulfire blue and ghostly white light, releasing wisps of thick, spectral mist and shimmering soul-fragments that drift upwards. The scene is set deep within the crypt, surrounded by skeletal remains and crumbling stone walls. The atmosphere is oppressive, ominous, and foreboding, with thick cobwebs and dust motes dancing in the ethereal light. Rendered as hyperrealistic dark fantasy concept art in the grimdark style of Brom, with the unsettling detail of Zdzisław Beksiński. The shot features dramatic cinematic lighting, lit only by the circle’s own unholy glow, casting long, dancing shadows. Use a low-angle shot to emphasize its power, with volumetric haze and intricate details, sharp focus.”
**Negative Prompt (Optional but Recommended):**
`bright, happy, clean, modern, simple, cartoon, drawing, text, watermark, signature, blurry, oversaturated, peaceful.`
