Dark Academia Aesthetic Prompt

Create:
1. A finished dark academia prompt centered on a credible scholarly task.
2. Daytime rain and late-evening variations using the same room.
3. A still-life detail prompt that preserves the source materials and light.
4. A negative prompt for magic-school clichés, fake Latin, random candles, illegible text, copied sets, and watermarks.
5. Notes on light falloff, paper and wood texture, depth, and focal contrast.
6. An originality check for real institutions, recognizable productions, and invented scholarship.

Keep all books, documents, and historical claims generic unless the user supplies accurate source material.
