Visual Description
A weary, bandaged man stands in a storm, clutching a tall wand upright as rain falls around him. Eight other wands are planted behind him in the rocky ground, forming a rough barrier. The figure wears a tattered cloak and heavy boots, and his stance is tense and guarded. Puddles and swirling water pool at his feet beneath a grey, brooding sky.
