An intimidating, fearsome dark mage stands at the center of an ancient, crumbling temple, surrounded by swirling shadows and glowing arcane symbols etched into the worn stone. Clad in deep black robes adorned with intricate silver runes, the mage’s hands are raised, channeling a devastating spell of shadow and flame. Torrents of dark energy mixed with roaring flames swirl around him, forming massive, chaotic tendrils that pulse with ominous power. His eyes glow with a fiery, unnatural light, and his pale skin is illuminated by the unholy blaze. Dark mist and embers float through the air, intensifying the atmosphere with an eerie, otherworldly presence. The mage wields a staff embedded with a large, smoking obsidian crystal that pulsates with dark energy, adding to the terrifying aura. Beneath him, an elaborate ritual circle is etched into the stone, flickering with dark fire and shadow, capturing the raw intensity of forbidden magic. In the background, ancient pillars crack under the magical pressure, while twisted trees cast looming shadows, all bathed in the flickering, menacing light.
