Wan prompts: Fantasy

5 Wan prompts for fantasy scenes. Swap in your own character names and keep the camera language.

The floating citadel at dawn

FantasyEstablishing

Dawn, warm golden light, rim light, soft haze, high saturation, establishing shot, extreme wide shot, low angle, vertical composition. A white stone citadel with slender spires floats above a sea of clouds, waterfalls spilling off its edges into mist. Chains of glowing blue runes orbit slowly around the lowest tower. A flock of birds crosses in front of the sun. The camera tilts up slowly from the clouds to the highest spire.

Negative: blurry, flicker, warped architecture, modern buildings, text, watermark

Settings: Wan 2.2 T2V-A14B, 9:16 (720×1280), 81 frames at 16 fps (about 5 s), 720p

Tall fantasy buildings suit a 9:16 frame, and a tilt-up uses all that height. The waterfalls give Wan constant motion to render.

The rune ignites on her wrist

FantasyInsert

The rune tattoo on her right wrist begins to glow, faint at first, then bright blue, light running along the lines like ink catching fire. Her fingers curl. Tiny sparks drift up from her skin. The camera stays fixed. Sound: a low rising hum, a crackle like static, her sharp intake of breath. No dialogue. Generate single shot.

Negative: whole arm glowing, extra fingers, burnt skin, blurry, text, watermark

Settings: Wan 2.7 image-to-video, 9:16, 5 s, 1080p, audio generated. Start image: close-up of a pale wrist with a blue rune tattoo and the frayed edge of a moss-green cloak.

Wan 2.7 adds synced sound to image-to-video, so a magic insert gets its hum and crackle in the same pass. Keep the effect on the tattoo, or the glow spreads over the whole frame.

The prince kneels with his sword

FantasyMedium

Dusk, cool tones with warm rim light, soft light, medium shot, low angle, center composition. In a forest of glowing translucent crystal trees, a 25-year-old prince in dark engraved armor with a thin gold circlet and storm-gray eyes drops to one knee and lays his sword flat on the ground before him. He looks up at someone just above the camera. [Prince, hoarse, sincere]: "My kingdom hunted you. I won't." Sound: crystal leaves chiming in the wind, armor creaking. A quiet choir enters. Generate single shot.

Negative: smiling, cartoon, deformed armor, extra hands, warped sword, subtitles, watermark

Settings: Wan 2.7 text-to-video, 9:16, 8 s, 1080p, audio generated

A low angle with his eyeline just above the lens puts the viewer in the heroine's place. That's a classic vertical-drama move. Short, sincere lines land better than speeches with Wan's audio.

Sera faces the shadow beast

FantasyWide

Night, cool blue tones, backlight, volumetric light through crystal trees, wide shot, eye-level, vertical composition. A 19-year-old woman with a silver-white braid, a glowing blue rune tattoo on her right wrist and a worn moss-green cloak stands alone in a crystal-forest clearing. Across from her, a huge shadow beast made of smoke with glowing red eyes rises from the ground. She raises her right hand and blue light flares from the rune, pushing the smoke back. The camera holds still. Sound: a deep growl, rushing wind, a bright magical crack. Epic drums build.

Negative: detailed monster anatomy, gore, extra limbs, blurry, flicker, text, watermark

Settings: Wan 2.6 text-to-video, 9:16, 10 s, 1080p, audio generated, multi-shot off

Making the beast smoke and eyes avoids the anatomy errors big creatures cause, and it's scarier anyway. One push of light is one action, which Wan 2.6 can carry for ten seconds.

Blade at his throat: first meeting (video + image refs)

FantasyOver-the-shoulder

A fantasy-romance first meeting in three shots. Dusk in a crystal forest, cool blue light with warm rim light, vertical framing. Video 1 is a turntable reference of Sera: a 19-year-old woman with a silver-white braid, a glowing blue rune tattoo on her right wrist and a worn moss-green cloak. Image 1 is the prince: a 25-year-old man in dark engraved armor with a thin gold circlet and storm-gray eyes. Shot 1 [0–5 s] Over-the-shoulder from behind Image 1, his armored shoulder in the foreground, as the woman from Video 1 steps out from behind a crystal tree holding a short blade. Shot 2 [5–10 s] Hard cut. Reverse over-the-shoulder from behind her silver-white braid: she presses the blade to his throat. [Sera, low, steady]: "Your father burned my village." Shot 3 [10–15 s] Hard cut. Close-up of Image 1, not resisting. [Prince, quiet]: "Then you'll want to hear what he's planning next." Sound: chiming crystal leaves, a blade sliding free, her breathing. No background music until the last two seconds, then one low string note.

Settings: Wan 3.0 reference-to-video, 9:16, 15 s, 1080p, audio on. References: Video 1 = a 5 s turntable of Sera (a slow 180° orbit on a gray backdrop, made earlier with image-to-video), Image 1 = prince character sheet. Input video seconds are billed on top of output.

A short turntable clip (the character turning in place) shows Wan 3.0 Sera's face, braid and cloak from every side. That matters when shot 2 sees her from behind. Videos and images are numbered separately, so 'Video 1' and 'Image 1' don't clash.
