Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Intricate, glowing golden runes etched into a wooden stage floor, pulsing with intense light. Malakor stands in the center, his hands wreathed in purple smoke. The camera is shaky, looking up from the crowd. Mystical and heavy atmosphere. Palette of radiant gold, royal purple, and dark wood tones. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Malakor: An elderly, imposing wizard with a gaunt face and pale, translucent skin. He has long, thin grey hair and a pointed beard. His eyes are sunken and glow with a sinister purple light. He is dressed in heavy, ornate robes of layered obsidian silk with intricate silver embroidery of ancient runes. He holds a gnarled staff made of dark, petrified wood topped with a glowing purple crystal. He has a menacing, arrogant expression, standing amidst swirling dark smoke on a stage. The atmosphere is oppressive and dark, with sharp shadows and cold purple rim lighting.
