"prompt": "A lavish, baroque-style image of a powerful sorceress in her arcane study. She is dressed in robes of deep emerald velvet embroidered with gold thread and shimmering beetle wings, holding a staff topped with a glowing, swirling galaxy trapped in a crystal orb.She stands before a massive oak desk covered in open grimoires with illuminated pages showing alchemical diagrams, bubbling potions in glass alembics, and a sleeping pseudodragon curled around a stack of scrolls. The room is filled with curiosities: shelves of leather-bound books, celestial globes, and dried magical herbs hanging from the ceiling. The lighting is chiaroscuro, from a large fireplace with green flames and a magical candelabra floating in mid-air. The brushwork is visible and textured, with rich, deep colors. The style is reminiscent of Rembrandt meets classic fantasy art. The words 'Flux 2 Max is available on fal' are written in elegant cursive font on the top of the image.",
