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 blooms in front of the caster and is anchored at the chest socket at the center of each cell (ChestSocket). 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, frames 7-8 the shield flare impact landing in the final third with the peak at frame 8, frame 9 settle 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: ward_contact - a cyan chest shield: a compact faceted shield plate of #6BD1FF with #57ADFF bevels and a cream #f2ede0 rim, blooming into a rounded aegis shape centered in each cell, with an engraved brass frame, hexagonal stained-glass facets and a bright rim ring flaring outward on impact, then settling. Silhouette read: one compact centered rounded shield, unlike any horizontal sweep.
