Okay, without going into combat details and stuff, I'd like your advice on some cinematic things I could with mirage arcane I have a beholder who flashes it as a persistent effect so he can sculpt terrain, make stuff look like other stuff, or create Illusory stuff real enough to interact with where there is none (instead of, say, using antimagic). I'm mostly interested in RP ideas of what I could do with that, as he is a very central NPC knowing the players can't take him on yet, and that they are keenly aware that if they decide to fight it=TPK.
The suggestions can be silly, practical, enriching, or can be freaky or spooky. I'm open to suggestions because I'm drawing blanks :3
Thank you!

The beholder has someone he wants to make an example of. He invites the PCs to watch. Once the victim is in position, the beholder casts mirage arcane, putting an invisible wall around the victim and filling the inside of said wall with lots of things to kill the victim. The spell takes 10 minutes to cast, so he'll time it to be finished either just as or shortly after the victim is in position. The goal is to make the PCs (and everyone else) even more terrified of his power.

I'd make the terrain look like one of the elemental planes. Imagine the things a party have to endure travelling in a grassland of fire, endless and discontinuous rocky terrain, fluctuating in strong wind or immerse underwater.
