Normally, this is the part where Peridot would do some quick spell channeling and change back into a dragon, using her superior size to throw both of the duplicates off of her. Unfortunately, getting clocked in the back of the head makes doing something with that requires that much focus pretty difficult. Rattled, she keeps digging down inside herself to try to find the connection to the raw magic that she needs to pull the trick off, but she's already seeing stars as it is, to say nothing of the exhaustion she's experiencing from such an incredibly long and intense day.

Her efforts aren't exactly for naught, though. Rather than tapping into the transformation magic that she's expecting, she taps into something else entirely. The duplicates will suddenly find it quite difficult to maintain a grip on the gem, because all of a sudden there's electricity coursing through her entire form and exploding outwards as a painful shock.
