A dark, mystical chamber with flickering candles and cobwebs hangs heavy in the shadows. A mysterious figure, shrouded in tattered robes, kneels before a glowing artifact on an ornate pedestal. The artifact, an ancient relic adorned with twisted vines and gemstones that seem to burn with an inner fire, radiates an otherworldly energy. As the figure's hands reach out to claim it, a faint glow illuminates their face, revealing a look of desperation and greed. In the background, a subtle hint of eerie green mist swirls around the chamber, foreshadowing the terrible price to be paid for the cursed artifact's wish-granting power.
