Ignition Weapon

An Ignition Weapon is a powerful type of weapon used in the Tower. An Ignition weapon is said to be a weapon with a soul. However, instead of thinking that all ignition weapons have soul, they are weapons refined with shinsoo bearing a soul. When activated (시동, shidong, 始動; "ignite" or "start engine") it releases vast amounts of power, enhancing its speed, damage, etc.

A branch form of Ignition weapons are compression Weapons. In Ignition mode, certain Compression weapons like the Green April are capable of becoming far more powerful when decompressed. Ignition weapons are supposedly quite rare on the lower Floors of the Tower, as Androssi was very surprised when she first saw Narumada.

An incredibly famous and powerful group of Ignition weapons are the 13 Month Series, which are only given to selected Princesses.

Living Ignition Weapons
Another type of Ignition weapon are the Living Ignition Weapons, living beings with an Ignition Weapon inserted in them, created after extensive research and experimentation by the scientists of the Workshop. By injecting ignition liquid and a unique creature into the subject one may create a Living Ignition Weapon. However many of the subjects that make up the experimental group perished due to side effects of injections. After much research was done by kidnapping children and use them as experimental subjects, the scientists finally succeeded to create "human weapon" which they called as the Living Ignition Weapon. The research was carried out in secret, because using a living being is prohibited. The first successful humans to be a Living Ignition Weapon are Beniamino Cassano (No.99) and Kang Horyang (No.21).

The current known Living Ignition Weapons are Beniamino Ilmar, Beniamino Cassano, Jyu Viole Grace, Beta and Emile.

Notes and Trivia

 * Ignition Weapons (especially the 13 Month Series) play a big role later on. Of course, it's a little early for them to make their appearance.
