In a candlelit eerie atmosphere, with high contrast shadows dancing across the baroque composition, the necromancer stands before his altar, his hooded figure silhouetted against the haunting details of skulls and bones. His sinister realism is amplified by the extreme chiaroscuro that dominates the scene. As he raises his arms to begin his ritual, the gothic spires and ruins in the background seem to writhe under an invisible force, while a visceral element like winter weather looms outside, adding to the oppressive mood of the room. The necromancer's focus is unwavering as he channels his dark magic, casting an ominous shadow across the eerie landscape.
