Cursed Amulet in the Badlands

A cursed amulet rests on cracked desert ground in a desolate badlands. The amulet is forged from blackened metal with a large, flickering emerald at its center, etched with forbidden runes that glow sickly green. A faint halo of dark energy coils around it, and the frayed leather cord holding the pendant adds to the aged look. In the background, wind-swept badlands rise into jagged red cliffs and mesas beneath a stormy, burnt-orange sky at sunset; sand swirls in the wind. Rendered in digital art with hyper-detailed textures, high contrast, and neon glow effects: electric-green runes, subtle glow around the gem, and faint pixel-glitch overlays to emphasize a curse. Cinematic lighting with rim light on the amulet, shallow depth of field to keep the artifact sharp while the landscape blurs behind. A mood of doom and ancient magic hangs in the air.
