Art style: Dark Comic.
A close-up of a hand firmly drawing a thick, glowing line of golden fire across a dark, cracked concrete floor. The magical fire burns brightly, creating an impassable, brilliant barrier against the encroaching, thick darkness attempting to cross it. The lighting is fierce and warm, radiating intensely from the golden flames. Deep blacks, dark charcoal, and vibrant, burning golden-orange.

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:
dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
