A highly detailed close-up of an ancient silver mask placed on a dark wooden pedestal. The mask's surface is engraved with shimmering arcane symbols, which glow softly in an eerie lavender hue. Faint tendrils of mist seep from its eye sockets, whispering lost incantations to those who dare to listen. A delicate golden chain drapes around the mask, pulsing with an unseen force, as if sealing the mask’s forbidden power.
