The reason I think Ozpin's soul transfer works the same way as the Maidens' power transfer is because...

Qrow : Whoever was in their thoughts last. Important distinction. Best option is someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way.

Ozpin : We are in complete agreement on that matter, I promise you. Believe me, I wish this weren't the case. But as I've told you, our  Aura, our  souls  are combined.

Maiden powers - Last person in her thoughts is the candidate, but if that person is not a young female, the powers go to someone random, which I assume means "random in the entire world", not "random in the same kingdom or on the same continent".

Ozpin's soul transfer could be the same way, only change "young female" to "young male".
