The spike stays up for a bit, then drops down to shoot back up. You get Aya to try and get the skeleton off anyway. She pulls on it and... rips it off?
"Huh. This thing isn't a real skeleton. Made of rubber."
You think you'd need a bit more than a stick to try and dig that thing up.

This spirit could navigate us through the trap field without getting hurt itself. It'll probably want a piece of Raven after what happened to it.
EDIT: > Or we can backtrack even further and get Mokou to do a trial-and-error run through it. Immortality isn't bound by magic afterall. Though I doubt she'll approve of the plan....
Mackette has to be closer to see anything, and the Roc doesn't have X-Ray vision. They couldn't do much from the other side.
Well, given it appears to be fake, of course not.
You're not inclined to ask, something tells you she'd be opposed.
>Is there room to walk inbetween two spikes safely?
There could be, but there rarely are two spikes next to eachother. Usually an explosion or block next to it.
