You kick the talons at your enemy, discharging a blast of concussive force. Shotgun shells are automatically discharged from the talons after particularly powerful blows. When grappling, the talons clamp around her targets body and squeeze them.
Simmy made this artifact in an adrenaline-fueled fugue state after her very first mission. She could not replicate it if she tried without a similar surge of divine inspiration.
The inner workings do not simply clamp over the wearer's boots, that would be far too imprecise. It instead has a portion which opens up to recieve the bare foot, and also includes seperate input plate at the toes which allows the wearer to clamp the talon closed at will and even discharge one of it's signature concussive blasts all only through toe inputs.
Simmy is anticipating having a lot of foot jokes made at her expense because of this and is not very happy about that. Still, this is the sort of breakthrough she's been looking for in her technological struggles, even if it's only the very first step. (Ha, step.)
