The background is a deep, moody obsidian gradient with subtle hints of cracked, ancient stone textures. The lighting is dramatic and chiaroscuro, highlighting the contrast between the glowing red, fiery particles and the surrounding velvet shadows. The atmosphere is mysterious, intense, and gothic-elegant.
