# DARK FANTASY SPELL-CASTING POSES - KREA2 (natural-language prose)
# Gender-neutral: subject referred to as "the subject"; body parts take "the".
# Dedicated caster body-poses (the act of casting), separate from the general
# pose pool so a casting stance can be chosen on its own. Attribute-clean: no
# skin, hair, eye, or garment callouts. Pair with __fantasy_spell_effects__
# and an environment line. One pose per line.

the subject stands with both arms outstretched and the palms forward in a wide channeling stance, power gathering in the air before them
the subject raises one hand overhead with the fingers splayed, energy converging to a point at the fingertips
the subject draws both arms back in a coiled pre-release stance, the whole body tensed with visibly building power
the subject presses the hands together at chest level with power straining to build between the palms
the subject thrusts one arm forward with the fist clenched at the instant of release
the subject traces rapid geometric sigils in the air with the fingers, leaving faint glowing trails
the subject arches the body backward with both arms flung wide in a full-body release
the subject crouches low with both hands pressed flat to the ground, channeling energy downward into the earth
the subject grips the wrist of the casting arm with the free hand in a braced, controlled projection
the subject stands upright with the eyes closed and the hands loose at the sides while power radiates outward passively
the subject spins mid-motion with one arm extended, the gathered power trailing the turn in a bright arc
the subject kneels with both hands raised symmetrically and the head bowed in focused concentration
the subject sets a staggered stance with the weight forward and one hand drawn back in a fired-and-following motion
the subject crosses both arms over the chest in a containment pose, power visibly straining to break outward
the subject holds both open hands at waist height and lifts them in a slow deliberate rise as the power ascends
