Grand Opening, I Guess?

The prehistoric looking creature lumbered forward with its mouth wide open, issuing a threatening hiss. It waded through the crowd of apparitions that attempted to bar its path, completely ignoring them as they clawed and bit at its thick protective scales. Professor Kal didn't know what would happen if he was touched by the illusionary spirits, but he had an idea. He figured that they would act much like the chandelier did and absorb any mana they came into contact with, slowly sapping his power while they used it to empower themselves.
