Overloading indeed is what they said -- and the crystals flashed faster and brighter, and then...
There there was flash of white light, and an explosion that was both there and not -- enough force to blow the X-Men on their butt, but not enough force to actually damage anything or move the crystals around.
The ghostly crystals now were...well, not ghostly, as they protruded from every surface. And the ghostly figures were....not ghostly, either, as they started to pick themselves off the ground from the force of the explosion.

Across campus, things were going haywire. The skyline twisted and shimmered, with skyscrapers apparently blinking in and out of existence. Doors appeared and disappeared in walls that did not have rooms behind them. The dimensions of buildings twisted and turned, with different architectural styles and levels of technology jutting out at weird, impossible angles. These things weren't fading in and out gently -- they were gradually blinking in and out of existence.
At the moment, at least, the campus mostly looked like the campus they remembered here in Malden, but something was clearly, clearly wrong.
