A majestic and powerful arch mage stands tall in the heart of Washington D.C., his robes flowing with arcane symbols, surrounded by iconic American landmarks. The wizard's face is weathered and wise, with piercing eyes that glow with otherworldly energy. He holds an intricately carved staff adorned with crystals and magical runes, radiating an aura of mystical power. The background showcases the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building, partially obscured by swirling mists of magic. Dramatic lighting emphasizes the contrast between the modern city and the ancient mysticism, with golden hour sunlight casting long shadows and creating a sense of depth. The color palette blends rich, deep purples and blues of the mage's attire with the warm tones of the city's architecture. Foreground elements like floating spell books and magical artifacts frame the scene, leading the viewer's eye to the central figure. Hyperrealistic details bring texture and depth to the mage's beard, the intricate patterns on his robes, and the weathered stone of the surrounding buildings. The image conveys a sense of scale, with the mage appearing larger-than-life against the cityscape. Lens flares and particle effects add to the magical atmosphere, while a subtle vignette draws focus to the center of the composition.
