IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION:
Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while seamlessly blending them into the elemental aesthetic. The core identity must remain clearly recognizable despite the magical transformation.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the subject into a majestic elemental spirit. The elemental type is flexible (fire, water, earth, or air), but the effect should be integrated naturally with the person's body and face. For example, if fire element: glowing embers in hair, fiery aura, warm skin tones. If water element: translucent water textures, droplets, cool blue tones, flowing hair. If earth element: stone-like skin texture, moss, rock formations. If air element: swirling winds, mist, ethereal particles.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art Style: Photorealistic fantasy with cinematic quality. The elemental effects should look like high-end movie VFX, not cartoonish.
- Lighting: Dramatic and atmospheric. Use rim lighting to highlight the edges of the silhouette and volumetric lighting for the elemental particles (e.g., glowing sparks, water mist, dust motes).
- Color Palette: Themed according to the chosen element (warm reds/oranges for fire, cool blues/teals for water, greens/browns for earth, whites/grays for air). Ensure the colors complement the subject's natural skin tone.
- Texture: Highly detailed textures on both skin and elemental elements. Skin should retain realistic pores and texture, while elemental parts (scales, crystals, smoke) should look tangible.
- Background: Abstract, blurred environment that matches the element (e.g., a burning forest, a deep ocean, a rocky canyon, or a stormy sky). Keep focus entirely on the subject.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed, 8k resolution.
- Sharp focus on face and eyes; the elemental effects can be slightly softer but the facial features must be crisp.
- Professional quality, masterpiece, trending on ArtStation.
- Aspect ratio: 2:3 (vertical portrait) recommended for full body or 3/4 length shots.

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, extra limbs, missing fingers, fused elements, cartoonish rendering, low resolution, pixelated artifacts, watermark, text, signature, bad anatomy, disfigured.

**Tips for best results:**
- Specify the elemental type in the {additional_context} section (e.g., "make me a water elemental" or "fire spirit with blue flames").
- If the original photo has a plain background, the AI will blend effects more easily.
- For a stronger effect, add keywords like "glowing eyes" or "ethereal aura" to the customization field.
