 Each Legendary artwork variant may have its own frame, backing shapes, panel positions, ornament, and illustrated overlaps. These components need not match other Legendaries or follow the Common–Extraordinary tier templates. Begin with one governing visual idea and let the layout support its subject, space, and emotional impression. Legendary presence may come from exceptional beauty, light, intimacy, or scale; ornament and overlaps are optional.
 
-Selected illustrated elements may cross the frame or backing to integrate the subject with the card. Author them separately above the border/backing system and below the lettering. Adapt their shape, folds, silhouette, or placement when this improves the impression; a foreground version need not reproduce the artwork concealed beneath the backing exactly. Preserve visible continuity into the scene, coherent glass construction and lighting, and believable anatomy or material behavior. Do not make a backing notch or narrow revealed strip stand in for a convincing complete form.
+### Depth and Card Hierarchy
 
-Plan panel coverage and foreground clearance together. Use a provisional composed preview with real shared P052 lettering before investing in finished ornament. Inspect the whole card, the element's join and hem/edge, and delivery-size text clearance. Keep all lettering on a legible field and free of foreground intersections. Legendary palette exceptions remain documented template decisions; the shared font roles still apply.
+Define the intended depth before authoring the template: **base environment → card frame/backing → selected illustrated foreground → deterministic lettering**. Identify which parts of the scene are background, which form the focal subject, and which complete element—if any—may cross above the card structure. The frame and backing remain the primary product layer; an illustrated overlap is a controlled exception.
+
+An environmental element that sits behind or beside the subject in the illustration must not be moved above the backing when that reversal makes it appear to pass in front of the subject. Smoother extraction cannot repair contradictory depth. Redesign the backing placement or choose an element that is genuinely in the foreground. A title plaque and supporting-text backing may use different shapes and interaction strengths when the scene benefits from it.
+
+### Backing Placement and Restraint
+
+Use the illustration's negative space instead of assuming a full-width title or footer. A Legendary backing may be vertical, asymmetric, pitched, suspended, or otherwise scene-specific, provided it keeps the focal face and gesture readable and retains a coherent card silhouette. Plan the backing region with the illustration rather than treating it as a late overlay.
+
+Size the backing to its content and measured breathing room. When unused backing area feels accidental, first shorten, reshape, or reposition the backing. Add symbolism or ornament only when it supports the governing idea and remains subordinate at card size. Legendary distinction does not require filling every quiet area.
+
+### Illustrated Foregrounds
+
+Selected illustrated elements may cross the frame or backing when they strengthen depth, silhouette, or the governing idea. Author them separately above the frame/backing and below the lettering. Adapt their folds, silhouette, or placement when needed; a foreground version need not reproduce artwork concealed by the backing pixel for pixel.
+
+Select a complete logical object or material form rather than a convenient color patch. A folded garment may include its differently colored lining, cuff, or connected return; detached robe panels and unrelated shards remain behind the backing. Preserve visible continuity into the source scene, coherent glass construction and lighting, believable anatomy or material behavior, and a smooth intentional edge. A backing notch, narrow revealed strip, connected pixel corridor, or technically valid alpha mask does not establish a convincing form by itself.
+
+### Typography and Review
+
+Use real shared P052 lettering in the first composed preview. Choose line breaks by natural phrase and sentence structure before reducing font size; avoid breaks that create false pauses or separate dependent phrases. Measure the combined visible ink rather than centering nominal text boxes. For an asymmetric backing, define the usable field after foreground obstructions and center the verse within that field while retaining the fixed reference region and collision clearance.
+
+Inspect the whole card, the foreground join, complete silhouette, backing proportions, and text rhythm at enlarged, standard, and thumbnail sizes. Keep all lettering on a legible field and free of foreground intersections. Legendary palette exceptions remain documented template decisions; the shared font roles still apply.
+
+Prototype and approve the **Normal composition first**. Do not derive Borderless, Textless, Boundless, finish masks, or harness fixtures until the Normal frame, backing, foreground selection, and typography are accepted. This prevents discarded experiments from producing misleading or stale derivatives.
 
 For backing-specific overlaps, Normal and Borderless use the selected adapted foreground. Textless and Boundless reveal the selected full-bleed illustration without adding that foreground a second time. If an adaptation should appear in every printing, incorporate it into an explicitly revised artwork variant. Record the chosen components for each printing.

 Bespoke, reverent, iconic; one governing narrative or visual idea. Exceptional presence may come from an epic scene or spacious contemplation. Use remarkable light, deliberate symbolism, and a cohesive jewel palette with tasteful gold where appropriate. Within-segment modeling can be especially refined, but restraint remains available. A Legendary may have fewer elements or segments than an Extraordinary. Different artwork variants may explore different governing ideas.
 
-A Legendary may be composed with selected illustrated foreground elements crossing its frame or text backing. This is optional and should strengthen the governing idea, depth, or silhouette. A cloak, branch, hand, or architectural element must remain visibly connected to its source in the scene and share the same glass construction, palette, light, and worked-glass surface.
+Before generation, the card-specific brief should name the intended depth planes: background environment, focal subject, likely card-backing region, and any complete element that could plausibly become a foreground overlap. Reserve useful negative space for the proposed backing while keeping the full-bleed scene intentional. A background cloud, structure, or landscape feature remains behind the subject even when its silhouette would be attractive over a panel.
 
-The foreground version may be redrawn, regenerated, reshaped, or repositioned to improve the composed card. It need not match the covered base artwork pixel for pixel. Preserve recognizable identity and believable form, including the visible join into the scene; shaping an element for an overlap is an artistic decision rather than a requirement to reproduce its original resting edge. Avoid detached tips, jagged extraction edges, missing dark seams, and flat cutoffs inherited from a surface that is now hidden. A connected pixel corridor alone cannot establish visual continuity.

 Follow [Legendary bespoke composition](./art-direction.md#legendary-bespoke-composition). Keep the complete base illustration separate from an optional adapted foreground element. Retain each foreground's authored silhouette/alpha and editable source; for generated or edited donors, also retain the exact prompt, native output, recorded fit/placement, and hashes. The foreground may intentionally differ from the art behind the backing. Record that difference instead of requiring source-RGB identity for the adapted region.
 
-Place all fitted components on the same 2000 × 2800 canvas with explicit transforms. The usual order is base illustration → selected frame/backing overlay → illustrated foreground → deterministic lettering. Record any template-specific change in order. Use the same source, transform, alpha convention, and resampling for the face and associated finish data.
+Before drawing masks, record a depth plan for the candidate: background environment, focal subject, frame/backing, selected foreground exception, and lettering. The usual full-canvas order is base illustration → selected frame/backing → selected illustrated foreground → deterministic lettering. A template may use another documented order, but it must preserve the scene's spatial relationships. Reject a foreground treatment that makes a background element appear to pass in front of the focal subject.
 
-Choose a silhouette that preserves the complete intended form, internal leading, and a convincing visible connection to the source scene. Review color-assisted selections and traced contours for holes, clipped seams, detached folds, fringes, and artificial straight edges. A contour can be geometrically valid while the overlap still looks pasted on. Redesign the foreground or backing where needed, and inspect the final composed join at enlarged, standard, and thumbnail sizes.
+Prototype the Normal composition with the approved illustration and real text before creating other printing faces or material maps. Preserve each rejected candidate as a review revision when comparison remains useful. After explicit Normal-layout approval, derive the other printings and all affected masks once from the selected sources and geometry.
 
-Validate actual unclipped glyph bounds and require no foreground/lettering intersection. For a backed layout, verify glyphs remain on the intended legible backing field after its shapes are adjusted. Record visual assessment separately from numerical connectivity or source-preservation checks. During prototyping, make only specifically requested provisional previews; final printings and masks follow approval of the selected illustration and adapted foreground.
+Choose backing placement from the scene's negative space and measured text needs. Legendary backings may be asymmetric or subject-specific. Size them to the approved text, reference, and breathing room; when an empty region appears accidental, test a smaller or differently placed backing before adding decorative content. Keep the card frame/backing visually primary and limit illustrated foreground restoration to the intended exception.
+
+Choose a foreground silhouette that preserves the complete logical form, internal leading, and a convincing visible connection to the source scene. Follow material and garment seams instead of selecting by color alone. Include connected lining, cuffs, and folds when they form one object; exclude detached shards, lower robe panels, background posts, or other unrelated components. Review color-assisted selections and traced contours for holes, clipped seams, fringes, and artificial straight edges. A contour can be numerically valid while the overlap still looks pasted on.
+
+Place all fitted components on the same 2000 × 2800 canvas with explicit transforms and a common alpha convention. Render masks and edges at sufficient resolution, composite color with premultiplied alpha, and downsample without transparent-RGB halos. Inspect the complete form and its join at enlarged, standard, and thumbnail sizes.
+
+Validate actual unclipped glyph bounds and require no foreground/lettering intersection. For a backed layout, verify every glyph remains on the intended opaque field after its shape changes. For irregular or asymmetric layouts, define the usable text band after foreground obstructions. Record foreground component bounds, text clearance, source hashes, and visual assessment separately from numerical connectivity checks.
 
 Select components explicitly per printing. A backing-specific adaptation appears in Normal and Borderless. Textless uses the full illustration plus its selected outer frame; Boundless uses the full illustration alone. Omit the backing-specific foreground from those two printings to avoid duplicating or changing the underlying subject unexpectedly. Record a revised full-bleed artwork variant if an adaptation is intended for all printings.
