Generated from: Original game VFX sprite sheet, a 9-frame contact burst for a mobile turn-based duel game. Art direction: comic-clean, high contrast, forged brass and engraved dark-gold metal, brass filings, ember sparks, stained-glass light shards, dark fantasy machine-hall opulence. Palette anchors: gold #d9ad47, panel void #0d0e12, cream #f2ede0, ember red #c72e29. Camera: 36-degree side view of a duel, attacker on the left, target on the right, the burst reads as happening between them and is anchored at the upper-right of each cell so the game can position it on the weapon socket (WeaponSocketR). Sheet layout: exactly 9 frames in a 3x3 grid of equal square cells, each cell a 256x256 frame, even gaps, no grid lines, no borders, no dividers, no frame numbers. Each cell holds the same single burst effect at the same scale and anchor point, reading left to right then top to bottom: frames 1-4 anticipation and charge-up, frames 5-6 build and travel, frames 7-8 the contact impact landing in the final third with the peak at frame 8, frame 9 recoil and fade. The effect is isolated on a flat solid mid-gray background, one flat color, no gradient, no scenery, no floor, no characters, no text, no letters, no numerals, no watermark, no logo, no UI chrome. Burst: cleave_contact - a wide two-handed reap: one broad heavy red #F5574D reaping crescent, thick and wide, swinging in a shallow downward diagonal across each cell, deep ember red #c72e29 inner shadow, hot gold #d9ad47 metal edges, chunky brass filings and sparks, socket flare at the upper-right, contact in the right-hand third. Silhouette read: one broad heavy crescent, much thicker than the strike crescent.
