Well, this is actually something ChatGPT is great for:

*Can you generate a list of 20 sentences in the same vein as these two:

What sorcery is this?

Even kings never knew such luxury...*

Absolutely! Here’s a list of 20 sentences in a similar whimsical, dramatic, or regal tone:

  1. Is this the work of ancient gods?

  2. By the stars, what marvel lies before me?

  3. This surely belongs in legend.

  4. Not even emperors dreamt of such splendor.

  5. What manner of enchantment is this?

  6. This defies the very laws of nature!

  7. Even the heavens would weep at such beauty.

  8. Was this forged in the heart of a dying star?

  9. A treasure fit for the halls of Valhalla.

  10. This is the stuff of forgotten prophecy.

  11. The ancients whispered of wonders like this.

  12. Not in a thousand lifetimes could I have imagined it.

  13. The bards shall sing of this day.

  14. Surely, this was touched by divine hands.

  15. The very fabric of reality trembles before it.

  16. Even the moon would blush in its presence.

  17. This belongs not on earth, but in dreams.

  18. A miracle, wrapped in velvet and starlight.

  19. What alchemy wrought this wonder?

  20. Even time itself must pause to behold it.

Want it to lean more fantasy, sarcastic, poetic, or sci-fi next time?

YES

I like the "dreamt of" addition to kings/emperors and also wrought was a great verb I'd forgotten about that has great rhetorical florish
