In a dimly lit, ancient chamber, a cloaked dark mage stands at the center, surrounded by swirling shadows. Glowing runes illuminate the floor, casting eerie patterns on the stone walls. Tendrils of dark energy spiral upwards, manifesting into menacing shadow creatures that loom ominously around him. The air crackles with palpable magic as the mage raises his arms, commanding his creations, ready to unleash their dark power upon the world.
