と → if/when (quoting a condition)

ば → conditional "if"
Picture this:

If that thing exists as a condition, I'll do anything.
The Mnemonic
「そのこととあれば、もう動くしかない」
"If that is the case — there's no choice but to act"
Think of a samurai receiving a special call to duty. The moment that specific condition is named (と), and it exists (あれば) — he has no choice but to respond.
君の頼みとあれば、断れない。
If it's your request specifically — I cannot refuse.
なら just acknowledges a condition and responds to it.
とあれば elevates that condition — it becomes the very reason that compels action. There's always a sense of "for that, I will go as far as needed."
