Ignatius hears Peridot, though it seems like he may not have needed all that much convincing. As soon as he sees the signs of the Mother breaking in, he's taking a step back and trying to access his magic - specifically, to spin himself some armor. He isn't completely sure how his power function anymore, so all he can do is attempt what he'd normally do and hope that it still works.

He raises a hand and waves it down his body, his physical form turning white and malleable, its outer edges forming a silhouette of new armor. The light disperses, and he's left in an entirely new gladiator-style set, with vapory white flame in the places where fur lining would typically be. He seems a little surprised like it's not quite the aesthetic he was expecting, but he doesn't let it stop him.

Receiving Gongenzaka's message, he summons the weapon that seems most appropriate: a glowing white spear, with a flaming aura that feels both hot and cool. The unfamiliarity of it causes him to hesitate, looking overwhelmed, but there's no time for hesitation.

"I'll keep her busy," he says, and leaps into the air to meet her, spear blazing.
