Firebending Gloves using spark plug and spray nozzle

I am very new to Arduino but this is a project I have had in mind for a very long time. I would like to create firebending gloves by using an accelerometer to measure the acceleration of my hand and when it reaches a certain point trigger a servo motor to spray some hairspray/other flammable gas, then trigger a spark plug to ignite it. I was also considering having different orientations of my hand spray gas in different ways to make different 'attacks'.

I already know how to drive a servo motor and I'm guessing the accelerometer wont be too difficult. However, I can't seem to find a way to trigger the spark plug without using an IC called VB525SP-E which is not available in my country. I saw something about using a MOSFET but I'm pretty sure that would lead to it getting fried.

Maybe have the MOSFET switch the primary of the spark coil, that way it can't get fried.

And yet you have chosen a project that would not only be extremely difficult even for an expert but also carries a significant risk of setting yourself on fire if you get it wrong.

no risk no fun

Tell that to the medics of the burns center treating you or your friend for the 3rd degree burns in your/their face.

Just don't do it, pal. Walk away from this idea. Go work on a light saber or something.
