Definitely sounds plausible. With all the secrecy, it's pretty much certain the Maidens would be told by the council to keep their power under wraps in order to avoid drawing unnecessary attention (and also to avoid unintentional damage as you said). It does seem very likely Amber didn't use her powers to their full extent during her confrontation with her attacker.
