1) Keep in mind, small scratches notwithstanding, she did also just use SEW powers, while they may be magic they certainly effect/use either Aura or endurance, 2) and they fire off like a nuke... which should say some serious depletion of the tank, given that ruby's was so much more powerful and dropped her for so many days, 3) So I mentioned it on the episode comments, but it seems to me the horror in/from the deep movie poster and the fact Radar tech is dealing with "Radar abnormalities" says some kind of giant or kaiju  Grimm exists and is about to be in the story. 1) Nothing says Silver Eyes use Aura or affect Aura. Remember back in Haven, literally nobody but Cinder suffered in the slightest despite Ruby's Silver Eyed Blast covering almost the entire room.

In fact, what we know for a fact about magic is that it's separate from Aura, and can be used even if your Aura is down. By the same coin, using magic wouldn't use up Aura either.

2) Ruby has used the Silver Eyes 4 times. Of those times, the first time she was KOd afterwards, the 2nd time she got bonked on the head and KOd, and the 3rd time she was dealing with The Apathy but wasn't KOd. Meanwhile, the 4th time, she didn't get any more tired than she was before.

The first time it's never explained how long she was out, for all we know it was just until morning. The 2nd time she got up before the battle ended, and the 3rd and 4th times she was still able to keep running despite The Apathy.

Now, consider how the first time, she didn't even know they were a thing. 2nd time was interrupted and 3rd and 4th times it was a smaller blast. Also consider that unlike Ruby, Maria was supposed to have been far more experienced with the Silver Eyes when she fought Tock.

Conclusion: The Silver Eyes affect Stamina to a very small extent compared to how strong the blast was. At most.

3) Demon From The Deep. And yes, I reached the same conclusion, that it foreshadows one big whaley Grimm in the ocean. The question is what could it be. Maybe it's a Leviathan. Maybe it's a Bahamut (the real one, not the different-in-all-but-name DnD one). Maybe it's a Godzilla ripoff.

Or maybe it's something far less terrifying and much smaller.
