MIDJOURNEY PROMPTS
LUMINARA
Luminara appears as a tall, ethereal figure glowing with radiant light, so bright it's almost impossible to look directly at her. Her skin appears to be made of shimmering gold, and her hair cascades down like a waterfall of pure light. Her eyes are like twin stars, radiating wisdom and warmth. She often appears wearing flowing robes of glowing white and gold, and carries a staff made from a beam of pure light.
RADIANT GLAIVE
This staff, made of pure light, is a symbol of enlightenment and creativity. It can dispel darkness, reveal hidden truths, and can even be used to heal or inspire those it touches. In a battle, the Radiant Glaive can unleash a blinding flash of light, disrupting enemies and protecting her allies. It symbolizes her power to illuminate, inspire, and protect, embodying her domains of Light and Creativity.
COSMION
In the beginning, there was a single divine being of immense power. However, due to a cosmic calamity, this being was shattered into countless fragments. The largest of these fragments became the major deities, each embodying a particular aspect of the original entity's personality or power (e.g., wisdom, strength, love, war). Smaller fragments became minor deities, who are more specialized and niche in their areas of influence
