Art style: Cinematic Realistic. At the center of the frozen combat plateau, the duel explodes into violent motion amid a blizzard and surging supernatural force. The setting is a broad circular sheet of ancient ice cracked by impacts, surrounded by jagged rims, collapsed frozen ruins, and vertical walls of translucent glacier rising like arena boundaries below the looming ascent to the Frozen Throne. Compose the first frame as a dynamic wide action shot in 9:16 with strong diagonal composition, capturing Illidan in mid-attack and Arthas in a forceful parry while the environment breaks around them. The camera angle should be slightly above waist level and canted enough to heighten chaos without losing spatial clarity. Lighting must feel volatile: cold blue underglow from the ice and sky flashes against violent green fel bursts, while white storm light intermittently strobe-lights the battlefield through sheets of snow. The mood is savage, mythic, and escalating toward supernatural catastrophe. Illidan should be slashing with twin blades in a rapid combination, body twisted with athletic aggression and demonic fury; Arthas should be braced and powerful, meeting the blows with minimal but crushing defensive movement, his expression calm and merciless. The palette stays constrained to icy blue, pale white, steel gray, black, and intense emerald-green accents. Emphasize real surfaces: splintering ice, shaved frost, snow-crusted stone debris, scarred metal, and the leathery tension of wings under strain. Depth layers should be explicit: foreground with kicked-up shards of ice, drifting snow clumps, and fragments of broken skeletons emerging from the frost; midground with the duel and crossing blades; background with glacier walls, ghostly skeletal forms rising from fissures, and the ascending ice architecture. Weather and particles must be abundant: blizzard trails, glowing sparks at weapon contact, ice dust plumes, loose snow spinning in vortices, and mist from sudden temperature changes. Add micro-details such as hairline cracks racing beneath their feet, green embers dissolving into white frost, skeletal fingers breaching thin ice, blade-edge frost steaming where fel heat meets cold, and shockwave ripples shimmering across polished frozen surfaces. The image should look like a war between elements as much as a duel between individuals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
