A cinematic dark fantasy scene inside a vast gothic cathedral at night, centered on a mysterious woman in a floor-length black ceremonial gown standing in the middle of a glowing occult circle. The composition is perfectly symmetrical and frontal, with the woman placed dead center beneath a huge rose window and a bright full moon visible through the stained glass. She wears an ornate, form-fitting {argument name="dress color" default="black"} gown with lace, embroidered filigree, semi-sheer sleeves, a corseted bodice, and a long flowing train spreading across the stone floor. Her pose is regal and ritualistic, arms slightly extended at her sides with open hands, as if summoning smoke or dark magic. Her face is obscured and indistinct, with dark updo hair and a high gothic collar or headpiece. Around her feet is a large circular sigil inscribed in glowing {argument name="sigil glow color" default="amber-gold"} lines, with intricate symbols and concentric rings. Place exactly 30 black candles of varying heights around the circle and foreground, all lit, with warm flames casting low orange highlights. Fill the air with drifting smoke and mist, especially around her hands, the lower floor, and the side aisles. The cathedral interior is towering, shadowy, and highly detailed, with ribbed vaults, pointed arches, weathered stone, elaborate carvings, and deep blue-black darkness. On the left and right sides, include exactly 2 massive gargoyle or demon statues perched on ornate pedestals, one per side, leaning inward protectively or menacingly. Behind the woman, a raised altar and clusters of additional candles recede into darkness. Lighting is moody and high-contrast, dominated by cold moonlight from above and warm candlelight from below, creating metallic highlights on the dress and architecture. Ultra-detailed, photorealistic, dramatic volumetric fog, gothic horror atmosphere, occult elegance, epic scale, sharp textures, realistic shadows, and a haunting, majestic mood.
