Cursed Amulet in an Enchanted Castle

Cartoon-style illustration of a gleaming cursed amulet inside an enchanted castle. The amulet is a circular pendant with a dark, swirling gemstone at its center, surrounded by jagged gold filigree and tiny glowing runes that flicker with eerie light. It hangs from a cracked chain above a dusty stone pedestal in a grand hall, the air crackling with magic. The castle interior is whimsical yet eerie: towering arches, stained-glass windows, floating candles, mossy walls, and emerald-green mist weaving through the air. Bold cartoon outlines, flat saturated colors, and cel shading give a classic animated look. Moonlight streams through tall windows, casting colorful patterns on the floor while the amulet pulses with blue-green energy. In the foreground, a plucky apprentice in oversized robes peeks from behind a pillar, eyes wide as the amulet hums. Playful sparks leap from nearby suits of armor, and statues tilt their heads as if listening. The scene balances danger and whimsy, drawing the viewer’s eye to the cursed amulet at the center.
