AI Lightning Powers prompt
Vertical 9:16 clip, 5 seconds. An AI-generated woman in a long dark coat stands centred on a cliff under a stormy sky. She raises one hand and blue lightning crackles down from the clouds into her palm, arcing around her arm as her coat whips in the wind. Dramatic low angle, cinematic storm lighting, epic fantasy mood.
