As Ixornvas switches one of his swords into a shield and holds it against his duplicate, the Replica grabs the shield, forces its momentum so he could push the shield back in order to climb on it, and then jumps off it to flip itself over the real Ixornvas, sending a searing ball of Ma'at through Ixornvas' cranium as he passed. It lands infront of the Dark lord, eyes flickering and then settling on a yellow color.
Ixornvas hears more shrieking - his Thulian Dragon that he summoned is in severe pain, probably because the Serpent skewered its tail through one of its hearts...
((Roll: 19))
This close to the Psionic signature, the Logical side of Ixornvas can practically see through the Yellow eyes that the replica is staring down Ixornvas with. It notices that the signature is kind of like a mask - it's not an exact copy of Ixornvas - though that much is evident by the fact that there are more sides that can take control of the Replica body than the actual sides of Ixornvas.
Every side Ixornvas has seen thus far seemed to have a robotic precision to its movements, like it is a Core-AI itself controlling it. However, it does seem to have a degree of instability. Seeing it a second time, there seems to be a pattern where the Yellow Eyes make this copycat-aspect a lot more... tactical, observing patterns and using that information to make its next move.
In this current situation, there doesn't seem to be a best-case-scenario accessible to Ixornvas, he's going to have to keep attacking the Crystal and hope for the best.

The Replica seems to go translucent for a second, Whoever is behind it seems to be pushing itself to the limit.
Ixornvas can hear mechanical slithering from behind him, like it seems to be closer. The grim, mechanical hiss and the increased Psionic feedback from Mirror Ixornvas goes to confirm that it is communicating with the Serpent to do something... together.
