I guess... but since Ozpin ad to give up his powers to create the maidens in the first place, she's already the strongest mage in existence. Even if she wasn't, she's immortal and therefore can defeat anyone in a straight up fight by default. It just doesn't add up to me.

I can get not wanting the gods to come back, but if they're under mankind's control, Ozpin can bring them together anytime he wants so it would be safer for her plans to bring them under her own control.

-- Even then, it's completely antithetical to Ozpin's purpose to summon the gods prematurely, so even if he did reunite them, the only way to achieve anything other than the apocalypse is for mankind to be redeemed, something Salem regards as impossible. Which means as far as she's concerned, he's never going to go through with that and if he ever was he would have done it by now.

Claiming the power of the maidens is pure excess and there's absolutely no reason not to gather the relics, especially when they're the only thing that could logically exceede the power of the maidens with the possible exception of the children of Mercurius I.E the silver eyed warriors.

So even if I give you ''all. of. that. -- ''it still makes no sense to go after the maidens for thier power because if power and control is all Salem wants, the relics are a much greater source of it.

Don't mean to be rude -- I'm just saying I don't get it.
