Dungeon Backdrop Floor 4 - Corrupted Arcane Depths (pixel art)

Generated from: Handcrafted pixel art background for a side-view 2D fantasy dungeon crawler. Single flat image, 16:9. No text, no UI, no frame, no border, no watermark, no signature. NO creatures, NO characters, NO people, NO animals, NO corpses anywhere. SCENE: The CORRUPTED ARCANE DEPTHS seen straight on from the side. Magic itself is damaged and threatening. Colossal broken pillars lean and crack across an enormous chamber whose vaulted roof is mostly lost in blackness above. Warped and scorched arcane machinery - twisted ring frames, ruptured conduits, burnt-out braziers - juts from the walls and floor, still leaking light. Corrupted stone with hairline fractures glowing from within. Magical energy bleeds through deep cracks and pours downward in thin luminous waterfalls. A shattered bridge spans a vast chasm; a deep shaft drops into the floor with a distant spiral staircase; far doorways glow at the end of long halls. Intense teal and cobalt blue light cuts through heavy mist; pools of arcane liquid reflect that light on wet stone. Vast dark areas swallow most of the architecture. Only rare, weak amber torchlight survives. COMPOSITION: side-view combat stage, seen straight on, not top-down, not isometric, no corridor receding at the camera. The lower quarter of the image is a calm, dark, uncluttered floor band - mostly deep shadow with a little rubble, no light sources, empty space reserved for characters standing on a ground line about 600 pixels up from the bottom. The top 8 percent strip is dark, calm, plain vault shadow with no bright elements. All architectural drama, magic and depth belong in the middle band and the far distance. Keep every landmark and light source inside the central 84 percent horizontally. STYLE: handcrafted pixel art, 16-bit/32-bit era dungeon crawler background, crisp readable square pixels, consistent pixel scale, limited cohesive palette of charred grey-black stone with intense teal, deep green and cobalt blue magic light and a strange pale white glow, muted and dark overall, dramatic chiaroscuro with strong light falloff, small pools of light surrounded by enormous areas of shadow, strong silhouettes, reflected light on wet stone, dithered gradients. Not flat vector, not smooth cartoon, not photorealistic, not bright saturated neon.
