1. "What about the relics makes it so that it can be opened by a specific maiden?"

2. "what about the relics that are in the vault which is to be opened by a specific maiden?"

3. "what is it about the relics that the vault has to be opened by a specific maiden?"

Nothing much can be answered about the first two at the moment and the answer to the third is "for security".

I think the second question raises pretty interesting quandary. Cinder may or may not be dead, but she is at least going to have a hard time getting back to Salem. Provided Cinder is alive, what does that mean for Beacon's relic? Did Cinder manage to open the vault or did Ozpin making the relic more difficult to find actually include making the door to the vault containing the relic hard to find as well? Does the door stay open until it is shut or does it shut on its own?
