If machines could dream, they'd dream of electric sheep.

About this image

This elaborate fantasy steampunk armillary sphere features intricately detailed polished brass filigree, interlocking clockwork gears, and a glowing luminous blue crystalline core set inside a transparent glass orb. The massive device sits at the center of a vaulted gothic astronomical library, lined with star-patterned stained glass windows, arcane star charts, and warm candle lighting that contrasts with the cool cyan glow of the magical astrolabe. The scene evokes a mysterious, wondrous mood, blending steampunk industrial design with high fantasy wizarding world aesthetic.

My prompt, multiple iterations with more direction and fine tuning until I was happy.

Is this machine accidental or made right out of your complicated prompt?
