the mage got s split personality
The Shadow King looks at the rude intruders with interest. A salvo of tek missiles head for them and he looks at them ponerously. As the missiles close, the energy drains out of them and they collapse harmlessly, drained by his negative energy field
He doesn't wait for long though. He said he would protect Lioness and he would. He walks into the enemy throng with even strides. All that he touches (or passes through) ends up with their energy weapons dying out and their life force being sucked from their bodies like the touch of a spectre
One of the light beams, however, makes him wince
...and he gets angry
Evard's Black Tentacles sprout from teh ground, choking the invading warriors. His eyes blaze and the one that hurt him spontaneously combusts
