An abandoned temple in the desert, shrouded in fog and darkness, with cracks on the walls and glowing runes. In the center of the temple, a magical ritual is performed involving a black-robed figure holding a crystal with pulsing energy. The temple is surrounded by a dead desert of ancient machinery and half-buried statues. In the background, you can see the silhouettes of huge ruined towers, and the sky is covered with ominous greenish clouds. Ghostly dragons or spirits hover in the air, lighting up the scene with a cold glow. Cinematic lighting, high detail, dark fantasy aesthetics, symbolism of destruction and magic.
