Wisps of shadow coalesce around his outstretched hands, forming sinister, flickering creatures with glowing red eyes. The air crackles with dark energy as the mage whispers incantations, drawing forth an army of nightmarish beings ready to do his bidding, their forms shifting and writhing in anticipation.
