Mage's costume is growing on me, but I cannot fathom the reasoning behind the giant claw. I also wonder how Mayu was able to switch rings without the help of her left hand. Since the claw was pretty useless during the battle with Medusa I would like to know why the claw's there at all.

To make sure Mage can't have any other forms.
Like, I'm serious. I'm pretty positive that's the purpose of the claw.
Conversation probably went like this:
"Why doesn't Haruto just share the base form rings to make Mage Hurricane/Land/Water/Fire?"
"...Good question. Give it a giant claw on the right hand and permanently affix the ring there so we don't have to make a new costume."

Granted, I'd love to eat my words and see Mage in different forms, but I'm pretty sure the ultimate purpose of the claw is to prevent it.
