==Description== | ==Description== | ||
The weapon was a silver, claw-shaped device that generated a hard-light blade, capable of firing bolts of energy. When multiple weapons were used in conjunction, they could apparently combine their energy bolts to form a single large blade-like projectile that sliced through the air.{{Ref/Reuse|origins}} | |||

The means of activating the weapon is remarkably similar to that of the [[Sangheili]] [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. It is possible that the weapon inspired the operational design and power supply of the energy sword. | |||
