Jacqueline's claws came out of her hands as soon as the referee signaled the start of the fight.
They came out of her knuckles and were about ten centimeters long. They weren't very sharp, probably because Jacqueline needed to keep them just sharp enough to injure Erik, but not to kill him. Yet they looked menacing to Erik.
Erik also noticed the claws weren't bone-like at all—they were clearly metallic and seemed manufactured rather than organic.

<Since Jacqueline brought the big guns out already, I don't see a reason for me to not reciprocate.>
Mana flowed from Erik's brain crystal throughout his body, forming a thin protective coat around his arms.
The two powers clashed.
