The Elder Wizard on the Misty Cliff

An elderly wizard stands on a windswept cliff at twilight, his long white beard and weathered face conveying centuries of knowledge. He wears a layered robe of midnight blue with silver embroidery of constellations and lunar motifs, a fur-lined cloak billowing in the wind, and a belt laden with talismans. In his right hand he grips a gnarled wooden staff topped with a crackling crystal orb from which blue runes spiral into the air. Under his left arm lies a worn leather-bound grimoire. A raven perches on his shoulder, watching the misty valley below. The air crackles with magic: floating sigils, motes of light, and a pale halo around the wizard. Mist swirls around jagged stones; distant snow-capped mountains glow in the background with a faint aurora. The scene is rendered in a rich, painterly digital fantasy style with high detail, cinematic lighting, and soft, textured brushwork. Color palette of deep blues, purples, and silvery whites.
