Negative prompts - Mage

A negative prompt lists what you do not want in the output. It is a separate field from the main prompt, and it is the most direct control you have over recurring artifacts.

The Illustrious and Pony checkpoint families are SDXL-based and take negative prompts.

How to write one

List things. The field is not read as a sentence, so instructions do not work in it.

blurry, extra fingers, watermark, text, oversaturated, distorted hands

Keep it short. A very long negative prompt constrains the image in ways you did not intend, since every term pushes the generation somewhere.

Limitations

A negative prompt reduces the likelihood of something appearing without forbidding it. If an artifact keeps recurring, changing the base model or adding a LoRA usually works better than adding more negative terms.
