Art style: Classic Fairytale. A close-up of Kael's face, his eyes crinkling with a proud, knowing smile. He is looking at the cup, then up at Elias. His long white beard and the deep lines of his face are rendered with loving detail in the fairytale style. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: classic 1990s hand-drawn 2D animated feature film look — painterly detailed backgrounds, elegant expressive character design with clean confident linework, warm cinematic lighting, soft cel shading, romantic fairytale mood, magical sparkle and glow particle effects during transformations. NOT a 3D render, NOT anime, NOT photorealistic, NOT modern flat vector style — a classic hand-painted animated-feature look. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Kael: An elderly master potter in his late seventies, with a face like a map of a thousand journeys, marked by deep wrinkles and wise, twinkling gray eyes. He has a long, flowing white beard and silver hair tied back with a simple cord. He wears a dark, charcoal-gray wool robe and a heavy, cracked leather apron stained with years of clay. His presence is calm and grounded, like an ancient tree. He is bathed in a soft, golden glow in a quiet corner of the workshop. Classic Fairytale style, textured brushstrokes, serene and mystical atmosphere.
