Reusable English prompt
The subject transforms into a mystical arctic guardian as shimmering fur-lined robes, crystalline armor, glowing ice jewelry, and luminous northern-light patterns form around the body. Brilliant green and purple auroras dance overhead while snow gently falls across the frozen landscape. Ethereal fantasy, ultra-realistic cinematic lighting. Avoid logos, readable brand text, nudity, malformed anatomy, and identity drift.
